Securities are written down to fair value when a decline in fair value is not considered temporary. In estimating other-than-temporary losses, management considers many factors, including: (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, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The Company doesn’t intend to sell or expect to be required to sell these securities, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in market interest rates, therefore, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired. All mortgage-backed securities in the Company’s portfolio are guaranteed by government sponsored entities, are investment grade, and are performing as expected.
 
NOTE 4 – Derivatives
 
The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. The notional amounts of these interest rate swaps and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were $23.3 million at June 30, 2014 and $17.9 million at December 31, 2013. These interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions with approved, reputable, independent counterparties with substantially matching terms. The agreements are considered stand alone derivatives and changes in the fair value of derivatives are reported in earnings as non-interest income. 
 
Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The Company’s exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional, principal or contract amounts. There are provisions in the agreements with the counterparties that allow for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed thresholds are collateralized. In addition, the Company minimizes credit risk through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures.

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss, general allocations are made for other pools of loans, including non-classified loans, homogeneous portfolios of consumer and residential real estate loans, and loans within certain industry categories believed to present unique risk of loss. General allocations of the allowance are primarily made based on a three-year historical average for loan losses for these portfolios, judgmentally adjusted for current economic factors and portfolio trends.

NOTE 5 - Loans (continued)

Loan impairment is reported when full repayment under the terms of the loan is not expected. This methodology is used for all loans, including loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality. For purchased loans, the assessment is made at the time of acquisition as well as over the life of loan. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, 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 collateral. Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and agricultural loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include real estate loans secured by one-to-four family residences and loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures. Individually evaluated loans on non-accrual are generally considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

All classes of loans, including loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, are generally placed on non-accrual status when scheduled principal or interest payments are past due for 90 days or more or when the borrower’s ability to repay becomes doubtful. For purchased loans, the determination is made at the time of acquisition as well as over the life of the loan. Uncollected accrued interest for each class of loans is reversed against income at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. All classes of loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Loans are typically charged-off at 180 days past due, or earlier if deemed uncollectible. Exceptions to the non-accrual and charge-off policies are made when the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.
 
The following table presents the recorded investment in non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more still on accrual by class of loans as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

Troubled Debt Restructurings:
 
In certain instances, the Company may choose to restructure the contractual terms of loans. A troubled debt restructuring occurs when the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider due to a borrower’s financial difficulty.   In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s internal underwriting policy. The Company uses the same methodology for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality as for all other loans when determining whether the loan is a troubled debt restructuring.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, there were no troubled debt restructurings. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, there was one loan modified as a troubled debt restructuring. There were no troubled debt restructurings for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at the time of acquisition.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there was one loan modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of these loans included a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan. During the six months ended June 30 2013, there was one loan modified as a troubled debt restructuring. There were no troubled debt restructurings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013 for loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality at the time of acquisition.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

Credit Quality Indicators:
 
The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company classifies loans as to credit risk by individually analyzing loans. This analysis includes commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and agricultural loans with an outstanding balance greater than $100. This analysis is typically performed on at least an annual basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
 
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
 
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
 
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

NOTE 8 – Equity Plans and Equity Based Compensation
 
The Company maintains three equity incentive plans under which stock options, restricted stock, and other equity incentive awards can be granted. At June 30, 2014, the Company has reserved 438,813 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for subsequent stock dividends and subject to further customary anti-dilution adjustments) for the purpose of issuance pursuant to outstanding and future grants of options, restricted stock, and other equity awards to officers, directors and other employees of the Company. 
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted no options, and accordingly, recorded no stock option expense related to option grants during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company recorded no other stock compensation expense applicable to options during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 because all outstanding options were fully vested prior to 2007. In addition, there was no unrecognized option expense as all outstanding options were fully vested prior to June 30, 2014 and 2013. 
 
During the periods presented, awards of long-term incentives were granted in the form of restricted stock. Awards that were granted to management under a management incentive plan were granted in tandem with cash credit entitlements (in the form of 60% restricted stock grants and 40% cash credit entitlements for 2014 and 50% restricted stock grants and 50% cash credit entitlements prior to 2014). The management restricted stock grants and tandem cash credit entitlements awarded in 2013 will vest in three equal installments of 33.3% with the first annual vesting on December 5th of the year of the grant and on December 5th of the next two succeeding years.  Awards that were granted to directors as additional retainer for their services do not include any cash credit entitlement. These director restricted stock grants are subject to forfeiture in the event that the recipient of the grant does not continue in service as a director of the Company through December 5th of the year after grant or do not satisfy certain meeting attendance requirements, at which time they generally vest 100 percent. For measuring compensation costs, restricted stock awards are valued based upon the market value of the common shares on the date of grant. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted no shares of restricted stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company granted awards of 31,080 and 29,170 shares of restricted stock, respectively.

The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan whereby eligible employees have the option to purchase the Company’s common stock at a discount. The purchase price of the shares under this Plan has been set at 95% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock as of the last day of the plan year. The plan provided for the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of common stock, which the Company may obtain by purchases on the open market or from private sources, or by issuing authorized but unissued common shares. Funding for the purchase of common stock is from employee and Company contributions.

NOTE 8 - Equity Plans and Equity Based Compensation (continued)

 

The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is not considered compensatory.  There was no expense recorded for the employee stock purchase plan during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, nor was there any unrecognized compensation expense as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 for the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

NOTE 9 – Fair Value
 
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (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. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
               
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
 
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Investment Securities: The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3). Level 3 pricing is obtained from a third-party based upon similar trades that are not traded frequently without adjustment by the Company. At June 30, 2014, the Company held $10.9 million in Level 3 securities which consist of $10.6 million of non-rated Obligations of State and Political Subdivisions and $353 thousand of equity securities that are not actively traded. Absent the credit rating, significant assumptions must be made such that the credit risk input becomes an unobservable input and thus these securities are reported by the Company in a Level 3 classification.
 
Derivatives: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2).
 
Impaired Loans: Fair values for impaired collateral dependent loans are generally based on appraisals obtained from licensed real estate appraisers and in certain circumstances consideration of offers obtained to purchase properties prior to foreclosure. Appraisals for commercial real estate generally use three methods to derive value: cost, sales or market comparison and income approach. The cost method bases value in the cost to replace the current property. Value of market comparison approach evaluates the sales price of similar properties in the same market area. The income approach considers net operating income generated by the property and an investors required return. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Comparable sales adjustments are based on known sales prices of similar type and similar use properties and duration of time that the property has been on the market to sell. Such adjustments made in the appraisal process are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
 
Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, a member of the Company’s Risk Management Area reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal. In determining the value of impaired collateral dependent loans and other real estate owned, significant unobservable inputs may be used which include: physical condition of comparable properties sold, net operating income generated by the property and investor rates of return.

NOTE 9 - Fair Value (continued)

Other Real Estate: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as other real estate (ORE) are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property utilizing similar techniques as discussed above for Impaired Loans, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, impairment loss is recognized.
 
Loans Held-for-Sale: The fair values of loans held for sale are determined by using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan resulting in a Level 2 classification.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2014
(unaudited, dollars in thousands except share and per share data)

NOTE 9 - Fair Value (continued)


Securities Held-to-Maturity:
The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2).
 
FHLB Stock and Other Restricted Stock:
It is not practical to determine the fair values of FHLB stock and other restricted stock due to restrictions placed on their transferability.
 
Loans:
Fair values of loans, excluding loans held for sale and collateral dependent impaired loans having a specific allowance allocation, are estimated as follows: For variable rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values resulting in a Level 3 classification. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.
 
Accrued Interest Receivable:
The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification consistent with the asset they are associated with.
 
Deposits:
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and non-interest checking, savings and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amount) resulting in a Level 1 classification. Fair values for fixed rate time deposits are estimated using a discounted cash flows calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification. 
 
Short-term Borrowings:
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings, generally maturing within ninety days, approximate their fair values resulting in a Level 2 classification.
 
Long-term Debt:
The fair values of the Company’s long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification. 
 
The fair values of the Company’s subordinated debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 3 classification. 
 
Accrued Interest Payable:
The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates fair value resulting in a Level 2 or Level 3 classification consistent with the liability they are associated with.
 
Off-balance Sheet Instruments:
Fair values for off-balance sheet, credit-related financial instruments 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 commitments is not material.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GERMAN AMERICAN BANCORP, INC.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
German American Bancorp, Inc., is a NASDAQ-traded (symbol: GABC) financial services holding company based in Jasper, Indiana. German American, through its banking subsidiary German American Bancorp, operates 37 commercial and retail banking offices in 13 southern Indiana counties. The Company also owns a trust, brokerage, and financial planning subsidiary (German American Financial Advisors & Trust Company) and a full line property and casualty insurance agency (German American Insurance, Inc.).
 
Throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis, as elsewhere in this report, when we use the term “Company,” we will usually be referring to the business and affairs (financial and otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates as a whole. Occasionally, we will refer to the term “parent company” or “holding company” when we mean to refer to only German American Bancorp, Inc.

This section presents an analysis of the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and other financial data presented elsewhere herein and with the financial statements and other financial data, as well as the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, included in the Company’s December 31, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW

This updated discussion should be read in conjunction with the Management Overview that was included in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Company’s December 31, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 totaled $6,687,000, or $0.51 per share, an increase of $155,000 or 2% and a decline of $0.01 per share or 2%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2013 net income of $6,532,000, or $0.52 per share. On a year-to-date basis, 2014 earnings improved to $12,992,000 or $0.98 per diluted share, as compared to $12,341,000, or $0.97 per diluted share for the first six months of 2013 representing an increase of approximately 1% on a per share basis.

The Company’s second quarter and first half of 2014 earnings were positively impacted by improved levels of net interest income as compared with the same periods of 2013. Net interest income increased $1,609,000, or 10%, and $3,580,000, or 11%, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the same periods of 2013. This improvement in both periods was driven by a higher level of earning assets due in large part to an increased loan portfolio.

Partially mitigating the improvement in net interest income was a decline in the level of non-interest income and in increased level of operating costs during the second quarter and first six months of 2014 compared with the same periods of 2013. Non-interest income declined $608,000, or 10% and $237,000, or 2%, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same periods 2013 primarily due to the lower levels of gains from the sale of loans and securities. Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2014 increased $878,000, or 7%, and for the first half of 2014 increased $2,506,000, or 9%, as compared to the same periods of 2013. The increase in non-interest expenses was largely impacted by the inclusion of the United Commerce Bancorp operations which was acquired by the Company effective October 1, 2013, a new financial center in Columbus, Indiana, and the implementation of new digital banking systems.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The financial condition and results of operations for German American Bancorp, Inc. presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and selected financial data appearing elsewhere within this Report, are, to a large degree, dependent upon the Company’s accounting policies. The selection of and application of these policies involve estimates, judgments, and uncertainties that are subject to change. The critical accounting policies and estimates that the Company has determined to be the most susceptible to change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of securities available for sale, and the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.


39




Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses to cover probable incurred credit losses at the balance sheet date. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off. A provision for loan losses is charged to operations based on management’s periodic evaluation of the necessary allowance balance. Evaluations are conducted at least quarterly and more often if deemed necessary. The ultimate recovery of all loans is susceptible to future market factors beyond the Company’s control.
 
The Company has an established process to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The determination of the allowance is inherently subjective, as it requires significant estimates, including the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows on impaired loans, estimated losses on other classified loans and pools of homogeneous loans, and consideration of past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. The allowance consists of two components of allocations, specific and general. These two components represent the total allowance for loan losses deemed adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio.
 
Commercial and agricultural loans are subject to a standardized grading process administered by an internal loan review function. The need for specific reserves is considered for credits when graded substandard or when: (a) the customer’s cash flow or net worth appears insufficient to repay the loan; (b) the loan has been criticized in a regulatory examination; (c) the loan is on non-accrual; or, (d) other reasons where the ultimate collectibility of the loan is in question, or the loan characteristics require special monitoring. Specific allowances are established in cases where management has identified significant conditions or circumstances related to an individual credit that we believe indicates the loan is impaired. Specific allocations on impaired loans are determined by comparing the loan balance to the present value of expected cash flows or expected collateral proceeds. Allocations are also applied to categories of loans not considered individually impaired but for which the rate of loss is expected to be greater than historical averages, including those graded substandard and non-performing consumer or residential real estate loans. Such allocations are based on past loss experience and information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values.
 
General allocations are made for other pools of loans, including non-classified loans, homogeneous portfolios of consumer and residential real estate loans, and loans within certain industry categories believed to present unique risk of loss. General allocations of the allowance are primarily made based on a three-year historical average for loan losses for these portfolios, judgmentally adjusted for economic, external and internal factors and portfolio trends. Economic factors include evaluating changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio. Internal factors include evaluating changes in lending policies and procedures; changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; and changes in experience, ability and depth of lending management and staff. In setting our external and internal factors we also consider the overall level of the allowance for loan losses to total loans; our allowance coverage as compared to similar size bank holding companies; and regulatory requirements.
 
Due to the imprecise nature of estimating the allowance for loan losses, the Company’s allowance for loan losses includes a minor unallocated component. The unallocated component of the allowance for loan losses incorporates the Company’s judgmental determination of inherent losses that may not be fully reflected in other allocations, including factors such as economic uncertainties, lending staff quality, industry trends impacting specific portfolio segments, and broad portfolio quality trends.   Therefore, the ratio of allocated to unallocated components within the total allowance may fluctuate from period to period.



40



Securities Valuation
 
Securities available-for-sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported separately in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. The Company obtains market values from a third party on a monthly basis in order to adjust the securities to fair value. Equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are carried at cost. Additionally, when securities are deemed to be other than temporarily impaired, a charge will be recorded through earnings; therefore, future changes in the fair value of securities could have a significant impact on the Company’s operating results. In determining whether a market value decline is other than temporary, management considers the reason for the decline, the extent of the decline, the duration of the decline and whether the Company intends to sell or believes it will be required to sell the securities prior to recovery.  As of June 30, 2014, gross unrealized losses on the securities available-for-sale portfolio totaled approximately $8,728,000 and gross unrealized gains totaled approximately $8,583,000.  As of June 30, 2014, held-to-maturity securities had a gross unrecognized gain of approximately $2,000.


Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense involves estimates related to the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and loss contingencies related to exposure from tax examinations.
 
A valuation allowance reduces deferred tax assets to the amount management believes is more likely than not to be realized. In evaluating the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers the likelihood that sufficient taxable income of appropriate character will be generated within carryback and carryforward periods, including consideration of available tax planning strategies. Tax related loss contingencies, including assessments arising from tax examinations and tax strategies, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In considering the likelihood of loss, management considers the nature of the contingency, the progress of any examination or related protest or appeal, the views of legal counsel and other advisors, experience of the Company or other enterprises in similar matters, if any, and management’s intended response to any assessment.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Net Income:
 
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 totaled $6,687,000, or $0.51 per share, an increase of $155,000, or 2%, and a decline of $0.01 per share, or 2%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2013 net income of $6,532,000, or $0.52 per share. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $12,992,000 or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to $12,341,000, or $0.97 per diluted share for the first six months of 2013 representing an increase of approximately $651,000, or 5%, and 1% on a per share basis.


Net Interest Income:
 
Net interest income is the Company’s single largest source of earnings, and represents the difference between interest and fees realized on earning assets, less interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds. Several factors contribute to the determination of net interest income and net interest margin, including the volume and mix of earning assets, interest rates, and income taxes. Many factors affecting net interest income are subject to control by management policies and actions. Factors beyond the control of management include the general level of credit and deposit demand, Federal Reserve Board monetary policy, and changes in tax laws.

Net interest income increased $1,609,000 or 10% (an increase of $1,837,000 or 11% on a tax-equivalent basis) for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared with the same quarter of 2013. The increased level of net interest income during the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013 was driven by a higher level of earning assets and a higher net interest margin (expressed as a percentage of average earning assets).

The net interest margin represents tax-equivalent net interest income expressed as a percentage of average earning assets. The tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.74% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 3.64% during the second quarter of 2013.  The yield on earning assets totaled 4.04% during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 4.01% in the same period of 2013 while the cost of funds (expressed as a percentage of average earning assets) totaled 0.30% during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 0.37% in the same period of 2013.

The improvement of the net interest margin and net interest income in the second quarter of 2014 compared with the second quarter of 2013 was attributable to an increased level of average loans outstanding, to the improvement in the yield on the Company’s securities portfolio and to the continued decline in the Company’s cost of funds. Accretion of loan discounts on acquired loans contributed approximately 6 basis points on an annualized basis to the net interest margin in the both the second quarter of 2014 and the second quarter of 2013.

Provision for Loan Losses:

The Company provides for loan losses through regular provisions to the allowance for loan losses. The provision is affected by net charge-offs on loans and changes in specific and general allocations of the allowance. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the provision for loan losses totaled $200,000 which represented an increase of $400,000 from the second quarter of 2013 negative provision of $200,000. The provision for loan losses totaled $550,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, an increase of $400,000 compared to the provision of $150,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
Net charge-offs totaled $134,000 or 0.04% on an annualized basis of average loans outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $271,000 or 0.09% on an annualized basis of average loans outstanding during the same period of 2013. The Company realized net recoveries of $416,000 or (0.06)% on an annualized basis of average loans outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with net charge-offs of $407,000 or 0.07% on an annualized basis of average loans outstanding during the same period of 2013.

The provision for loan losses made during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was made at a level deemed necessary by management to absorb estimated, probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. A detailed evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is completed quarterly by management, the results of which are used to determine provision for loan losses. Management estimates the allowance balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions, and other factors. During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, the general allocations for commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate loans were increased primarily based on the assessment of our qualitative factors. In setting our qualitative factors, we consider the risks of these types of loans and the losses that are inherent within these loan portfolios.

 
Non-interest Income:
 
During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, non-interest income totaled $5,502,000, a decline of $608,000, or 10%, compared with the second quarter of 2013.

Insurance revenues increased $875,000, or 28%, during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared with the first half of 2013. The increase during the first half of 2014 compared with first half of 2013 was due to increased contingency revenue. Contingency revenue during the first six months of 2014 totaled $1,049,000 compared with $246,000 during the first half of 2013. The fluctuation in contingency revenue during 2014 and 2013 is a normal course of business type of variance and is reflective of claims and loss experience with insurance carriers that the Company represents through its property and casualty insurance agency.

Net gains on sales of loans totaled $862,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2014, a decline of $701,000, or 45%, compared with the first six months of 2013. Loan sales totaled $43.6 million during the first half of 2014, compared with $96.8 million during the same period of 2013.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company realized a net gain on the sale of securities of $472,000 related to the sale of $6.8 million of securities, compared with a net gain on the sale of securities of $1,080,000 related to the sale of $55.3 million in the first half of 2013.

Non-interest Expense:
 
During the quarter ended June 30, 2014, non-interest expense totaled $14,139,000, an increase of $878,000, or 7%, compared with the second quarter of 2013.

Data processing fees increased $275,000, or 41%, during the second quarter of 2014 compared with the same quarter of 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with the implementation of new commercial and retail digital banking platforms late in the fourth quarter of 2013 and in the first quarter of 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, non-interest expense totaled $29,229,000, an increase of $2,506,000, or 9%, compared with the first half of 2013.

Salaries and benefits increased $899,000, or 6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the first half of 2013. The increase in salaries and benefits during the first half of 2014 compared with the first half of 2013 was primarily the result of an increased number of full-time equivalent employees due in part to the acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp.

Occupancy, furniture and equipment expense increased $378,000, or 12%, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the first half of 2013. The increase was largely related to a larger number of banking offices driven by the acquisition of United Commerce Bancorp and a new banking location in Columbus.

Data processing fees increased $620,000, or 46%, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared with the first half of 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with the implementation of new commercial and retail digital banking platforms late in the fourth quarter of 2013 and in the first quarter of 2014.

Income Taxes:
 
The Company’s effective income tax rate was 29.5% and 33.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The Company’s effective income tax rate approximated 29.9% and 31.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The effective tax rate in all periods presented was lower than the blended statutory rate resulting primarily from the Company’s tax-exempt investment income on securities, loans and company owned life insurance, income tax credits generated from investments in a new markets tax credit project and affordable housing projects, and income generated by subsidiaries domiciled in a state with no state or local income tax.

 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Total assets at June 30, 2014 increased $29.7 million to $2.194 billion compared with $2.164 billion in total assets at December 31, 2013.  The increase in total assets was primarily attributable to an increase in period-end loan balances.

June 30, 2014 loans outstanding increased by $28.1 million, or approximately 4% on an annualized basis, compared with year-end 2013. The increase in loans was broad based including commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and residential mortgage loans and occurred throughout the Company’s market area.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses totaled $15.6 million at June 30, 2014 representing an increase of $966,000, or 13% on an annualized basis, from December 31, 2013.  The allowance for loan losses represented 1.10% of period-end loans at June 30, 2014 compared with 1.05% of period-end loans at December 31, 2013.  Under acquisition accounting treatment, loans acquired are recorded at fair value which includes a credit risk component, and therefore the allowance on loans acquired is not carried over from the seller. The Company held a discount on acquired loans of $4.9 million as of June 30, 2014 and $5.9 million at year-end 2013.

Total deposits decreased $69.8 million, or 8% on an annualized basis, as of June 30, 2014 compared with December 31, 2013 total deposits. The decline was primarily attributable to withdrawals from large balance deposit relationships. These relationships continue to maintain significant deposit balances with the Company.

Non-performing assets totaled $6.9 million or 0.31% of total assets at June 30, 2014 compared to $9.4 million or 0.44% of total assets at December 31, 2013.  Non-performing loans totaled $6.0 million or 0.42% of total loans at June 30, 2014 representing a $2.4 million, or 29%, decrease in non-performing loans compared to the $8.4 million of non-performing loans at December 31, 2013. 
 

47



Non-accrual commercial real estate loans totaled $3.7 million at June 30, 2014 representing a decline of $2.9 million, or 44%, from the $6.7 million of non-accrual commercial real estate loans at year-end 2013.  Non-accrual commercial real estate loans represented 62% of the total non-performing loans at June 30, 2014 compared to 79% of total non-performing loans at year-end 2013.  Non-accrual commercial and industrial loans totaled $0.3 million at June 30, 2014 representing an increase of $0.3 million from the $0.03 million of non-accrual commercial and industrial loans at December 31, 2013.  Non-accrual commercial and industrial loans represented 5% of the total non-performing loans at June 30, 2014 compared with less than 1% of total non-performing loans at year-end 2013.
 
At June 30, 2014 there was only one relationship included in non-performing loans that was greater than $1.0 million. This relationship was a $1.8 million commercial real estate loan secured by a commercial warehouse facility.  This loan was in non-performing status as of year-end 2013. The borrower has made all contractual payments due during 2014 and the principal balance of this relationship was reduced by $0.05 million during the first six months of 2014.
 
The Company purchases individual loans and groups of loans. Purchased loans that show evidence of credit deterioration since origination are recorded at the amount paid (or allocated fair value in a purchase business combination), such that there is no carryover of the seller’s allowance for loan losses. After acquisition, incurred losses are recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses.
 
Purchased loans that indicated evidence of credit deterioration since origination at the time of acquisition by the Company did not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s key credit metrics during 2013 or during the first quarter of 2014.  The key credit metrics the Company measures generally include non-performing loans, past due loans, and adversely classified loans.
 
Non-performing purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination totaled $1,346,000 at June 30, 2014 compared with $1,705,000 at December 31, 2013. The non-performing purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination represented approximately 23% of total non-performing loans at June 30, 2014 compared with approximately 20% of total non-performing loans at December 31, 2013.
 
Past due purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination totaled $889,000 at June 30, 2014 and $1,250,000 at year-end 2013.  Past due purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination represented approximately 11% of total past due loans at June 30, 2014 and approximately 16% of total past due loans at year-end 2013.

Adversely classified purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination totaled $5.1 million at June 30, 2014 compared with $9.0 million at December 31, 2013. Adversely classified purchased loans with evidence of credit deterioration since origination represented approximately 18% of total adversely classified loans at June 30, 2014 compared with approximately 25% of total adversely classified loans at year-end 2013.
 
Loan impairment is reported when full repayment under the terms of the loan is not expected.  If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported net, 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 collateral. Commercial and industrial loans, commercial real estate loans, and agricultural loans are evaluated individually for impairment. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment in total. Such loans include real estate loans secured by one-to-four family residences and loans to individuals for household, family and other personal expenditures. Individually evaluated loans on non-accrual are generally considered impaired. Impaired loans, or portions thereof, are charged off when deemed uncollectible.

Capital Resources:
 
Federal banking regulations provide guidelines for determining the capital adequacy of bank holding companies and banks. These guidelines provide for a more narrow definition of core capital and assign a measure of risk to the various categories of assets. The Company is required to maintain minimum levels of capital in proportion to total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet exposures such as loan commitments and standby letters of credit.
 
Tier 1, or core capital, consists of shareholders’ equity plus certain amounts of instruments commonly referred to as trust preferred securities, less goodwill, core deposit intangibles, other identifiable intangibles and certain deferred tax assets defined by bank regulations. Tier 2 capital currently consists of the amount of the allowance for loan losses which does not exceed a defined maximum allowance limit of 1.25 percent of gross risk adjusted assets and certain amounts of subordinated debenture obligations. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital.
 

48



The minimum requirements under these standards are generally at least a 4.0 percent leverage ratio, which is Tier 1 capital divided by defined “total assets”; 4.0 percent Tier 1 capital to risk-adjusted assets; and, an 8.0 percent total capital to risk-adjusted assets ratios. Under these guidelines, the Company, on a consolidated basis, and its subsidiary bank, have capital ratios that exceed the regulatory minimums.
 
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) requires federal regulatory agencies to define capital tiers. These are: well-capitalized, adequately-capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly under-capitalized, and critically under-capitalized. Under these regulations, a “well-capitalized” entity must achieve a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 6.0 percent; a total capital ratio of at least 10.0 percent; and, a leverage ratio of at least 5.0 percent, and not be under a capital directive. The Company’s subsidiary bank was categorized as well-capitalized as of June 30, 2014.
 
At June 30, 2014, management was not under such a capital directive, nor was it aware of any current recommendations by banking regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have or are reasonably likely to have, a material effect on the Company’s liquidity, capital resources or operations.

The table below presents the Company’s consolidated capital ratios under regulatory guidelines:

In July 2013, the two federal banking regulatory agencies that have authority to regulate the Company’s capital resources and capital structure (the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)) took action to finalize the application to the United States banking industry of new regulatory capital requirements that are established by the international banking framework commonly referred to as “Basel III” and to implement certain other changes required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. These rules make significant changes to the U.S. bank regulatory capital framework, and generally increase capital requirements for banking organizations. Although the Company believes that these new rules, as they are phased in over a multi-year period commencing January 1, 2015, will in general increase the amount of capital that the Company and the Bank may be required to maintain, the Company does not presently expect that any materially burdensome compliance efforts with these final capital rules will be required of the Company prior to January 1, 2015. For additional information, also see the discussion in Item 1 of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, shareholders’ equity increased by $14.2 million, or 14% on an annualized basis, to $214.3 million compared with $200.1 million at year-end 2013. The increase in shareholders’ equity was primarily attributable to an increase of $8.8 million in retained earnings and an increase of $5.1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to a decrease in net unrealized losses in the Company’s securities available-for-sale portfolio. Shareholders’ equity represented 9.8% of total assets at June 30, 2014 and 9.3% of total assets at December 31, 2013. Shareholders’ equity included $23.2 million of goodwill and other intangible assets at June 30, 2014 compared to $23.9 million of goodwill and other intangible assets at year-end 2013.

Liquidity:

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows details the elements of changes in the Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 ending at $57.1 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2014, operating activities resulted in net cash inflows of $13.2 million.  Investing activities resulted in net cash outflows of $27.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014.  Financing activities resulted in net cash inflows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $10.8 million.

The parent company is a corporation separate and distinct from its bank and other subsidiaries. The Company uses funds at the parent company level to pay dividends to its shareholders, to acquire or make other investments in other businesses or their securities or assets, to repurchase its stock from time to time, and for other general corporate purposes including debt service. The parent company does not have access at the parent-company level to the deposits and certain other sources of funds that are available to its bank subsidiary to support its operations. Instead, the parent company has historically derived most of its revenues from dividends paid to the parent company by its bank subsidiary. The Company’s banking subsidiary is subject to statutory restrictions on its ability to pay dividends to the parent company. The parent company has in recent years supplemented the dividends received from its subsidiaries with borrowings. As of June 30, 2014, the parent company had approximately $18.7 million of cash and cash equivalents available to meet its cash flow needs.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ASSOCIATED RISKS
 
The Company from time to time in its oral and written communications makes statements relating to its expectations regarding the future. These types of statements are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company may include forward-looking statements in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), such as this Form 10-Q, in other written materials, and in oral statements made by senior management to analysts, investors, representatives of the media, and others. Such forward looking statements can include statements about the Company’s net interest income or net interest margin; its adequacy of allowance for loan losses, levels of provisions for loan losses, and the quality of the Company’s loans and other assets; simulations of changes in interest rates; expected results from mergers with or acquisitions of other businesses; litigation results; tax estimates and recognition; dividend policy; parent company cash resources and cash requirements, and parent company capital resources; estimated cost savings, plans and objectives for future operations; and expectations about the Company’s financial and business performance and other business matters as well as economic and market conditions and trends. They often can be identified by the use of words like “expect,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “intend,” “project,” “estimate,” “believe” or “anticipate,” or similar expressions.
 
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the forward-looking statement is made.
 
Readers are cautioned that, by their nature, all forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Actual results may differ materially and adversely from the expectations of the Company that are expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. The discussions in this Item 2 list some of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statements. Other risks, uncertainties, and factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to vary materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement include the unknown future direction of interest rates and the timing and magnitude of any changes in interest rates; changes in competitive conditions; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of asset/liability management strategies or of mergers and acquisitions and other business initiatives and strategies; changes in customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; changes in fiscal, monetary and tax policies; changes in financial and capital markets; deterioration in general economic conditions, either nationally or locally, resulting in, among other things, credit quality deterioration; capital management activities, including possible future sales of new securities, or possible repurchases or redemptions by the Company of outstanding debt or equity securities; risks of expansion through acquisitions and mergers, such as unexpected credit quality problems of the acquired loans or other assets, unexpected attrition of the customer base of the acquired institution or branches, and difficulties in integration of the acquired operations; factors driving impairment charges on investments; the impact, extent and timing of technological changes; litigation liabilities, including related costs, expenses, settlements and judgments, or the outcome of matters before regulatory agencies, whether pending or commencing in the future; actions of the Federal Reserve Board; changes in accounting principles and interpretations; potential increases of federal deposit insurance premium expense, and possible future special assessments of FDIC premiums, either industry wide or specific to the Company’s banking subsidiary; actions of the regulatory authorities under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and other possible legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; and the continued availability of earnings and excess capital sufficient for the lawful and prudent declaration and payment of cash dividends. Such statements reflect our views with respect to future events and are subject to these and other risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the operations, results of operations, growth strategy and liquidity of the Company. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.
 
Investors should consider these risks, uncertainties, and other factors, in addition to those mentioned by the Company in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, and other SEC filings from time to time, when considering any forward-looking statement.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
The Company’s exposure to market risk is reviewed on a regular basis by the Asset/Liability Committee and Boards of Directors of the parent company and its subsidiary bank. Primary market risks which impact the Company’s operations are liquidity risk and interest rate risk.

The liquidity of the parent company is dependent upon the receipt of dividends from its subsidiary bank, which is subject to certain regulatory limitations. The Bank’s source of funding is predominately core deposits, maturities of securities, repayments of loan principal and interest, federal funds purchased, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank.

The Company monitors interest rate risk by the use of computer simulation modeling to estimate the potential impact on its net interest income under various interest rate scenarios, and by estimating its static interest rate sensitivity position. Another method by which the Company’s interest rate risk position can be estimated is by computing estimated changes in its net portfolio value (“NPV”). This method estimates interest rate risk exposure from movements in interest rates by using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the change in the NPV of discounted cash flows from assets and liabilities.
    
NPV represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the estimated market value of assets minus the estimated market value of liabilities. Computations are based on a number of assumptions, including the relative levels of market interest rates and prepayments in mortgage loans and certain types of investments. These computations do not contemplate any actions management may undertake in response to changes in interest rates, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. In addition, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of computing NPV. Should interest rates remain or decrease below current levels, the proportion of adjustable rate loans could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity. In the event of an interest rate change, prepayment levels would likely be different from those assumed in the table. Lastly, the ability of many borrowers to repay their adjustable rate debt may decline during a rising interest rate environment.

The Company from time to time utilizes derivatives to manage interest rate risk. Management continuously evaluates the merits of such interest rate risk products but does not anticipate the use of such products to become a major part of the Company’s risk management strategy.

The table below provides an assessment of the risk to NPV in the event of a sudden and sustained 2% increase and decrease in prevailing interest rates (dollars in thousands).

This Item 3 includes forward-looking statements. See “Forward-looking Statements” included in Part I, Item 2 of this Report for a discussion of certain factors that could cause the Company’s actual exposure to market risk to vary materially from that expressed or implied above. These factors include possible changes in economic conditions; interest rate fluctuations, competitive product and pricing pressures within the Company’s markets; and equity and fixed income market fluctuations. Actual experience may also vary materially to the extent that the Company’s assumptions described above prove to be inaccurate.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
As of June 30, 2014, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were as of that date effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of systems of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective systems of disclosure controls and procedures can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving their control objectives.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s second fiscal quarter of 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
