Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

On September 4, 2009, Hometown Bankshares Corporation (the “Company”) acquired all outstanding stock of HomeTown Bank (the “Bank”) in an exchange for shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis to become a single-bank holding company with the Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary. The Bank was organized and incorporated under the laws of the State of Virginia on November 9, 2004 and commenced operations on November 14, 2005. The Bank currently serves Roanoke City, Virginia, the County of Roanoke, Virginia, the City of Salem, Virginia, Christiansburg, Virginia, and surrounding areas. As a state chartered bank which is a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is subject to regulation by the Virginia Bureau of Financial Institutions, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Board.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017 and for the periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 included herein, have been prepared by HomeTown Bankshares Corporation, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Management believes that all interim adjustments for the periods ended March 31, 2017 are of a normal recurring nature. In the opinion of management, the information furnished in the interim consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such interim periods. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto as of December 31, 2016, included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Interim financial performance is not necessarily indicative of performance for the full year.

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company follow generally accepted accounting principles and general practices within the financial services industry.

The consolidated financial statements of HomeTown Bankshares Corporation include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary HomeTown Bank and the accounts of its subsidiary, HomeTown Residential Mortgage LLC. HomeTown Bank owns a 49% interest in HomeTown Residential Mortgage LLC which originates and sells mortgages secured by personal residences. Due to the marketing support and direction provided by HomeTown Bank to HomeTown Residential Mortgage LLC, along with guarantees of warehouse lines of credit used in its operation, the Company is deemed to exercise control of this entity. The ownership interest in HomeTown Residential Mortgage LLC not owned by the Company is reported as Non-Controlling Interest in a Consolidated Subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company’s accounting policies and basic principles have not changed since the summary disclosure of these in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please refer to Form 10-K for these policies.

Note 2. Investment Securities

The amortized cost and fair value of available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, are as follows:

(Dollars In Thousands)	March 31, 2017
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
U. S. Government agency securities	$	11,814	$	107	$	(71	)	$	11,850

	$	52,180	$	517	$	(538	)	$	52,159

(Dollars In Thousands)	December 31, 2016
	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
U. S. Government agency securities	$	12,422	$	118	$	(96	)	$	12,444
Mortgage-backed securities and CMO’s		19,979		54		(265	)		19,768

	$	53,060	$	504	$	(589	)	$	52,975

U. S. Government agency securities: The unrealized losses on nineteen of the Company’s investments in obligations of the U. S. government were caused by increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the securities were purchased. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017.

Mortgage-backed securities and CMO’s: The unrealized losses on twenty-nine of the Company’s investments in government-sponsored entity mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) were caused by increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the securities were purchased. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017.

Corporate securities: The Company had no investments with unrealized losses in corporate securities at March 31, 2017.

Municipal securities: The unrealized losses on sixteen of the Company’s investments in municipal securities were caused by increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the securities were purchased. All municipal securities are investment grade. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates, credit spreads, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017.

The following tables demonstrate the unrealized loss position of available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. This information summarizes the amount of time individual securities have been in a continuous, unrealized loss position.

There are sixty-four debt securities with fair values totaling $31.0 million considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2017, the Company does not consider any bond in an unrealized loss position to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

The amortized cost and fair values of investment securities available for sale at March 31, 2017, by contractual maturity are as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDR’s”) were comprised of five loans totaling $4.2 million at March 31, 2017. This compares with $6.4 million in total restructured loans at December 31, 2016. Two of the five loans totaling $4.0 million were accruing at March 31, 2017. The other three loans totaling $247 thousand were on nonaccrual status at the end of the first quarter of 2017. One TDR in the amount of $18 thousand was past due with its restructured terms at March 31, 2017.

The following table presents by class of loan, information related to the loan modified in a TDR during 2017:

(Dollars in Thousands)	Loans modified as TDR's For the three months ended March 31, 2017

The loan relationship identified above in the table was originally restructured into two TDR’s during 2015 and was included in substandard nonaccrual loans and impaired loans at the end of 2016. There was an additional $18 thousand added to the TDR relationship during the first quarter of 2017.

No loans were modified in a TDR during the first three months of 2016.

Management considers troubled debt restructurings and subsequent defaults in restructured loans in the determination of the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. When identified as a TDR, a loan is evaluated for potential loss 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 estimated fair value of the collateral, less any selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent. Loans identified as TDRs frequently are on non-accrual status at the time of the restructuring and, in some cases, partial charge-offs may have already been taken against the loan and a specific allowance may have already been established for the loan. As a result of any modification as a TDR, if a specific reserve is associated with the loan it may be increased. Additionally, loans modified in a TDR are closely monitored for delinquency as an early indicator of possible future defaults. If loans modified in a TDR subsequently default, the Company evaluates the loan for possible further impairment. As a result, any specific allowance may be increased, adjustments may be made in the allocation of the total allowance balance, or partial charge-offs may be taken to further write-down the carrying value of the loan. Management exercises significant judgment in developing estimates for potential losses associated with TDRs.

Note 6. Stock Based Compensation

The Company recorded stock based compensation expense of $36 thousand and $37 thousand for the years to date March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The 2005 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) pursuant to which the Board of Directors granted stock options to directors, officers and employees expired in 2016, thus there are no options available for future issuance. Under the fair value recognition provisions of relevant accounting guidance, stock-based compensation cost was measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and was and continues to be recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options. The fair value of the stock based payment awards was affected by the price of the Company's stock and a number of financial assumptions and variables. These variables included the risk-free interest rate, expected dividend rate, expected stock price volatility and the expected life of the options. No stock options were granted during 2017 or 2016. Compensation expense is charged to income ratably over the vesting period and was $18 thousand and $19 thousand for the year to date March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. As of March 31, 2017, there was $194 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The cost will be recognized over the next 2.75 years. At the discretion of the Board of Directors, the stock option plan was not modified for the 4% stock dividend distributed on July 11, 2016.

A summary of option activity under the 2005 stock option plan year to date March 31, 2017 is as follows:

	Options Outstanding		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (1)		Weighted Average Contractual Term (years)
Balance at December 31, 2016		201,000	$	7.80
Granted		–		–
Exercised		–		–
Expired		–		–
Forfeited		–		–
Balance at March 31, 2017		201,000	$	7.80	$	439,600		6.26
Exercisable at March 31, 2017		109,200	$	8.56	$	182,560		5.03

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value of a stock option in the table above represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value (the amount by which the current market value of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option) that would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options on March 31, 2017.

In 2009, the Board of Directors authorized 132,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Restricted Stock Plan. On July 11, 2016, a 4% stock dividend was distributed and added 5,280 to the total number of shares authorized for issuance and currently raising the total available to 137,280. The plan provides for restricted stock awards to key employees. Restricted shares awarded to employees generally vest over a five year period and compensation expense is charged to income ratably over the vesting period and was $18 thousand for the years to date March 31, 2017 and 2016. Compensation is accounted for using the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the restricted shares are awarded. The Company granted 8,258 and 11,149* shares of restricted stock under the plan during the years to date March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of restricted stock granted in 20176 was $9.87 compared to $9.09* in 2016.

As of March 31, 2017, there was $228 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized through 2022. A summary of the activity for restricted stock awards for the periods indicated is presented below:

	For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2017					For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
	Shares			Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Shares				Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at beginning of year		31,546		$	7.03		39,352		*	$	6.00	*
Granted		8,258			9.87		11,149		*		9.09	*
Vested		(11,125	)		6.03		(11,371	)	*		5.44	*
Forfeited		-			-		-		*		-
Nonvested at the end of the period		28,679		$	8.23		39,130		*	$	7.05	*

The Restricted Stock Plan provides for the adjustment of the total number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan and the number of shares covered by each outstanding Award for stock dividends and stock splits.

*Restated for the 4% stock dividend distributed July 11, 2016.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on these two types of inputs are as follows:

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived primarily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use one or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements:

Securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level 1). If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2).

The following tables present the balances of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Adjustments to the fair value of these assets usually result from the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

The following describes the valuation techniques used by the Company to measure certain assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in the consolidated financial statements:

Impaired Loans: The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time a loan is considered impaired and a specific reserve is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the extent of any loss. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value, and discounted cash flow. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. If carried at market price based on appraised value less selling costs using observable market data, it is recorded as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraisal value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Loans held for sale: The carrying value of these loans approximates the fair value. These loans close in the name of the Bank’s consolidated joint venture subsidiary HomeTown Residential Mortgage, LLC, but are generally sold within a two-week period.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO): The carrying amount of real estate owned by the Company resulting from foreclosures is estimated at the lesser of cost or the fair value of the real estate based on an observable market price or a current appraised value less selling costs. If carried at market price based on appraised value using observable market data, it is recorded as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or is not current, or management determines the fair value of the real estate is further impaired below the appraised value or there is no observable market price, the Company records the real estate as nonrecurring Level 3.

The following tables summarize the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

	$	2,234	Internal evaluations	Internal evaluations		4%	-	54%	(24	%)

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and due from banks: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash on hand and amounts due from correspondent banks approximate their fair values. The fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of contractual maturities on such time deposits.

Federal funds sold: Federal funds sold consist of overnight loans to other financial institutions and mature within one to three days. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, management believes the carrying value of federal funds sold approximates estimated market value.

Restricted equity securities: For these restricted equity securities, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on the redemption provisions of the related securities.

Loans held for sale: The carrying value of these loans approximates the fair value. These loans close in the name of the Bank’s joint venture subsidiary HomeTown Residential Mortgage, LLC, but are generally sold within a two-week period.

Loans receivable: For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

Bank owned life insurance: The cash values of these policies are estimates using information provided by insurance carriers. The policies are carried at their cash surrender value, which approximates fair value.

Deposit liabilities: The fair values disclosed for demand and savings deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair values for certificates of deposit and individual retirement accounts are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered to a schedule of contractual maturities on such time deposits.

FHLB borrowings: The fair values for FHLB borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on FHLB borrowings to the contractual maturities on such FHLB borrowings.

Subordinated notes: The fair values is measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level 2).

Other borrowings: The warehouse line of credit is a short term revolving credit facility used to fund mortgage loans originations until the underlying loan is sold. The warehouse line of credit, federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements mature within 30 days and approximate their fair values.

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

Off-balance sheet financial instruments: The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed to be immaterial.

The following is a discussion of factors that significantly affected the financial condition and results of operations of HomeTown Bankshares Corporation. This discussion should be read in connection with the financial statements presented herein.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s significant accounting policies are set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company’s financial position and results of operations are affected by management’s application of accounting policies, including estimates, assumptions and judgments made to arrive at the carrying value of assets and liabilities and amounts reported for revenues and expenses.

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and are capable of estimation and (ii) that losses on impaired loans be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral less cost to sell, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level, which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

The amount of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, economic conditions, and other risks inherent in the portfolio. Management reviews the past due reports and risk-rated loans and discusses individually the loans on these reports with the responsible loan officers. Management uses these tools and provides a detailed quarterly analysis of the allowance based on the Company’s historical loan loss experience, risk-rated loans, past dues, concentrations of credit, unsecured loans, loan exceptions, and economic trends. These are generally grouped by homogeneous loan pools. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values less cost to sell, or the present value of estimated cash flows. This allowance, then, is designated as a specific reserve. Although management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, because of uncertainties associated with local economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on impaired loans, it is reasonably possible that a material change could occur in the allowance for loan losses in the near term. However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses. Past due status is determined based on contractual terms.

Discussion of Operations

Executive Summary

Net income available to common shareholders amounted to $765 thousand for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $597 thousand during the prior year after preferred stock dividend payments of $204 thousand in the first quarter of 2016. Net Income was $765 thousand for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $801 thousand in 2016. Fully diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.13 per share for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $0.14 per share for the comparative period of 2016. The net interest margin increased for the past two consecutive quarters to 3.54% for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2017

Net income attributable to HomeTown Bankshares was $765 thousand for the first quarter of 2017, and was $36 thousand or 4.5% less than the same quarter last year. Improved net interest income and noninterest income were offset by increased noninterest expense.

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2017 totaled $4.3 million, and was $405 thousand or 10.4% greater than the first quarter of 2016. The expansion of average earning assets by $59.8 million provided $648 thousand in additional interest income. Lower loan yields negatively impacted net interest income by $227 thousand. Average loans for the quarter were $422 million, $51.4 million or 13.9% more than the first quarter of 2016. Average total deposits for the first three months of 2017 totaled $458 million and were $53.7 million more than average deposits for the same quarter last year. Deposit growth fueled the expansion of loans and investments and a reduction in Federal Home Loan Bank Borrowings.

The net interest margin was 3.54%, 3.53%, and 3.62% for the quarters ended March 31, 2017, December 31, 2016, and March 31, 2016, respectively. The downward pressure on rates stemming from competition coupled with maturing seasoned loans at higher interest rates contributed to lower loan yields. Excess funds were shifted from nonearning cash and due from bank accounts and placed in interest bearing bank accounts which negatively impacted the net interest margin but contributed to higher overall earnings. Average cash and due from banks for the first quarter of 2017 were $11.9 million less than the first quarter of 2016; while interest bearing deposits rose $10.0 million year over year. Average interest bearing deposits with banks were 3.7% of earning assets for the first quarter of 2017 compared to 1.9% for the same quarter last year. The cost of interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2017 declined from the cost for the first quarter of 2016 due to the favorable impact in the change in the mix of liabilities. Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings as a percent of interest bearing liabilities were 3.0% for the first three months of 2017 compared to 6.2% for the first three months of 2016.

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2017 was $697 thousand, and was $86 thousand more than the same period last year. Service charges on deposit account combined with ATM and interchange income were up $26 thousand for 2017 compared to 2016 due to deposit growth. Mortgage banking income was $32 thousand more than the prior year due to a higher dollar volume of mortgages processed and sold. Other income for the first three months of 2017 was $20 thousand more than the first three months of 2016 as the result of the expansion of the Company’s merchant processing line of business.

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, noninterest expense was $3.8 million, $530 thousand or 16.2% more than the $3.3 million recorded in the same quarter last year. Salaries and employee benefits for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were $263 thousand or 15.2% more than the same three months of 2016. Six new full time equivalent employees have been added since March 31, 2016 to accommodate growth. A contractual employee was added to drive the expansion of the credit card program. Bonus accrual adjustments, higher commissions corresponding to increased originations of mortgage loans, and annual raises also contributed to the increase over the prior year. Professional fees were $132 thousand more for the first three months of 2017 compared to 2016 due to the temporary outsourcing of a portion of risk management activities. The position of Senior Risk Officer has remained vacant since the former Risk Officer was promoted from this position to replace the retiring Chief Financial Officer in August 2016. Some of the work performed in 2017 related to finishing up work from 2016 and establishing plans for 2017.

Financial Condition

The Company’s management, under the direction of the Asset/Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Board of Directors, reviews the mix of monetary assets and liabilities to ensure the Company maintains an adequate level of liquidity while maximizing interest rate spreads.

Assets totaled $534 million at March 31, 2017, an increase of $17.0 million or 3.3% since year end 2016. The continuing expansion of the net loan portfolio by $9.0 million during the three months since December 31, 2016, accounted for slightly more than half of the asset growth. Excess funds held in liquid cash and due from accounts on the last day of the first quarter 2017 were $9.8 million higher than at December 31, 2016.

The Company’s liabilities at March 31, 2017 totaled $485 million compared to $469 million at December 31, 2016, an increase of $16.2 million or 3.5%. Total deposits rose $13.8 million during the same period to $465 million at March 31, 2017. Core deposits, which exclude brokered deposits and retail CD’s over $250 thousand, totaled $425 million at the end of the first quarter 2017 and were $12.9 million more than at year end 2016.

At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the stockholders’ equity of HomeTown Bankshares was $48.6 million and $47.8 million, respectively, an increase of $826 thousand or 1.7%. The change in stockholders’ equity in the first three months of 2017 was mainly the result of net income.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing assets consist of nonaccrual loans, restructured loans, and repossessed and foreclosed assets.

Total nonperforming assets, including restructured loans	$	8,064	$	10,878

Total nonperforming assets, including restructured loans, declined $2.8 million during the first three months of 2017. A restructured loan for $2.2 million that was performing at December 31, 2016 was paid off by the borrower in January 2017. A warehouse in Salem, which had been foreclosed on in April 2011 and had been subject to several write-downs, was sold in the first quarter of 2017 without any further loss and accounted for $599 thousand of the reduction in other real estate owned since year end 2016.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDR’s”) were comprised of five loans totaling $4.2 million at March 31, 2017. Two of the five loans totaling $4.0 million were accruing interest and were current at the end of the first quarter. The remaining three loans were to one borrower and totaled $247 thousand and were included in non-accruing loans at March 31, 2017. See Note 3 for more information.

The major classifications of other real estate owned in the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are included in Note 5, and the activity in other real estate owned for the first three months of 2017 and 2016 is also included in Note 5.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges to income and decreased by charge-offs, net of recoveries. The allowance consists of three components: specific, general, and unallocated. Their adequacy is evaluated separately. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Company’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. Based on the Company’s allowance for loan losses calculation and analysis at the end of the first three months of 2017, a provision of $70 thousand was recorded. For the first three months of 2017, recoveries of previously charged off loans exceeded charge offs by $20 thousand. Loan growth contributed to the need for a higher provision in 2017.

Specific reserves are determined on a loan by loan basis and relate to loans classified as impaired. Management classifies loans as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Included in potentially impaired loan category are current “watch list” credits plus any additional credits which have been past due three or more times within the past 12-month period. Management individually reviews these potentially impaired loans based on generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) related to receivables and makes a determination if the loan in fact is impaired. Management does not consider a loan impaired during a period of delay in payment if management expects the ultimate collection of all amounts due. If a loan is found to be impaired, an allowance is established when the collateral value less estimated cost to dispose, discounted cash flows, or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Specific reserves for loans individually evaluated for impairment totaled $17 thousand at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016. Impaired loans totaled $5.1 million at March 31, 2017, and were $2.2 million less than the balance at year end 2016. The decrease resulted from the payoff of one loan in full in January 2017.

The percentage of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.87% at March 31, 2017, and December 31, 2016. Unallocated reserves were $147 thousand at March 31, 2017 and $122 thousand at December 31, 2016. Some surplus or unallocated reserve is desirable given the inherent weakness in this type of predictive analysis. The allowance for loan losses to nonaccrual loans was 398% at March 31, 2017 and 394% at December 31, 2016. Past due and non-accruing loans to total loans was 0.55% at March 31, 2017 compared to 0.51% at December 31, 2016.

Liquidity

Liquidity is identified as the ability to generate or acquire sufficient amounts of cash when needed and at a reasonable cost to accommodate withdrawals, payments of debt, and increased loan demand. Liquid assets include cash, federal funds sold, securities classified as available for sale as well as loans and securities maturing within one year. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

The Company’s management, under the direction of the Asset/Liability Committee of the Board of Directors, reviews the mix of monetary assets and liabilities to ensure the Company maintains an adequate level of liquidity at all times. This ensures that the Company’s sources of funds, primarily net fluctuations in customer deposits, investment securities and correspondent banking relationships, must be balanced with the Company’s obligations, commitments, and operational requirements, to maintain overall liquidity in conjunction with the maximization of interest rate spreads.

The Company’s asset based liquidity position, cash and due from bank balances, federal funds sold, loans held for sale, securities available for sale, net of securities pledged and cash balance requirements totaled $65.9 million at March 31, 2017, compared to $59.2 million at December 31, 2016. Higher levels of commercial noninterest bearing deposits contributed to higher levels of liquidity at the end of the first quarter 2017. Commercial deposits remain volatile and withdrawals may result in less liquidity in the future. Surges and declines in commercial deposits will continue to impact liquidity in an unpredictable manner.

The Company’s primary source of funding is its retail deposit base. The Company aggressively markets in its trade area and seeks demand deposits through service-related tactics and savings and time deposits through competitive pricing tactics. If deposits are not an attractive source for funding, either for reasons of maturity or pricing, alternative sources include FHLB advances, brokered deposits, fed funds purchased and lines of credit. The Company is approved to borrow 25% of our total assets from the FHLB subject to providing qualifying collateral. At March 31, 2017, the Company had borrowed $9.9 million of the $28.0 million of lendable collateral value, leaving $18.1 million of unused credit immediately available. The Company also had $36.5 million of fed funds lines of credit available at March 31, 2017. In addition, the Company had access to a $10.0 million credit line through Promontory’s Insured Cash Sweep (ICS) one way buy program at a rate of the one month LIBOR plus 11 basis points but not less than 20 basis points. At March 31, 2017, there were no advances on the fed funds or credit lines.

Capital

To enable future growth of the Company, there must be an adequate level of capital. Management reviews the Company’s capital to ensure that the amount, composition and quality of the Company’s assets and liabilities satisfy regulatory requirements, meet or exceed industry standards, and support projected Company growth. The Company’s stock is traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “HMTA.”

The ability to pay cash dividends to common stockholders is limited by regulatory restrictions and the need to maintain sufficient capital in the Company and in our subsidiaries. The Company must consider different factors to ensure that any future cash dividends to common stockholders would be prudent relative to the organization’s financial position and not based on overly optimistic earnings scenarios. The Company had $2.0 million of retained earnings at March 31, 2017. No cash dividends were paid to common stockholders in the first three months of 2017.

The Basel III capital framework represents the most comprehensive overhaul of the U.S. banking capital framework in over two decades. This new capital framework and related changes to the standardized calculations of risk-weighted assets are complex and create additional compliance burdens. Basel III rules became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule. The Basel III Capital Rules require significantly more capital and adopted more demanding regulatory capital risk weightings and calculations. As a result of the Basel III Capital Rules, many community banks could be forced to limit banking operations and activities, and growth of loan portfolios, in order to focus on retention of earnings to improve capital levels. The Company believes that it maintains sufficient levels of Tier 1 and Common Equity Tier 1 capital to comply with the Basel III Final Rules. However, increased capital requirements imposed by the Basel III Capital Rules may require the Company to limit its banking operations, retain net income to improve regulatory capital levels, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The table presents the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios calculated using the Basel III rules in effect at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

HomeTown Bank	March 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
(Dollars in thousands)
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital:
Common Stock	$	14,697	$	14,697
Surplus		32,114		32,078
Retained Earnings		8,908		8,008
Common Equity Tier 1 Capital		55,719		54,783
Tier 1 Capital:

Total Capital:
Allowance for Loan Losses (allowable portion)		3,726		3,636
Total Capital	$	59,447	$	58,436

The Bank’s total capital increased $1.0 million from December 31, 2016 to March 31,2017, primarily as the result of retaining the $0.9 million of the year to date March 31, 2017 net income attributable to the bank and noncontrolling interest.

The Company meets eligibility criteria of a small bank holding company in accordance with the Federal Reserve Board’s Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement issued in February 2015, and is no longer obligated to report consolidated regulatory capital. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Bank issued revised final rules that made technical changes to its market risk capital rules to align it with the Basel III regulatory capital framework and meet certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final new capital rules required the Bank to comply with the following new minimum capital ratios, effective January 1, 2015: (1) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% of risk-weighted assets (increased from the previous requirement of 4%); (3) a total capital ratio of 8% of risk-weighted assets (unchanged from current requirement); and, (4) a leverage ratio of 4% of total assets. Beginning January 1, 2016, a capital conservation buffer of .625% became effective. The capital conservation buffer will be gradually increased through January 1, 2019 to 2.5%. Banks will be required to maintain capital levels that meet the required minimum plus the capital conservation buffer in order to make distributions or discretionary bonus payments.

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are also presented in the following tables:

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk

In the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments involve commitments to extend credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The same credit policy is used in making commitments as is used for on-balance-sheet risk.

At March 31, 2017, outstanding commitments to extend credit including letters of credit were $116 million. There are no commitments to extend credit on impaired loans.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no breach 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 may expire without ever being drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash outlays for the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in ASU 2016-01, among other things: 1) Requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. 2) Requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. 3) Requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e., securities or loans and receivables). 4) Eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-01 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” Among other things, in the amendments in ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) A lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) A right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. Under the new guidance, lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Certain targeted improvements were made to align, where necessary, lessor accounting with the lessee accounting model and Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

During June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” The amendments in this ASU, among other things, require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendments in this ASU are effective for SEC filers for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2016-13 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

During August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”, to address diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If retrospective application is impractical for some of the issues addressed by the update, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. The amendments in this ASU clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the current implementation guidance in Topic 805, there are three elements of a business—inputs, processes, and outputs. While an integrated set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) that is a business usually has outputs, outputs are not required to be present. In addition, all the inputs and processes that a seller uses in operating a set are not required if market participants can acquire the set and continue to produce outputs. The amendments in this ASU provide a screen to determine when a set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The ASU provides a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively on or after the effective date. No disclosures are required at transition. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-01 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation — Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” The amendments in this ASU require an employer that offers defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, or other types of benefits accounted for under Topic 715 to report the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same line item(s) as other compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component. If the other components of net periodic benefit cost are not presented on a separate line or lines, the line item(s) used in the income statement must be disclosed. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization as part of an asset, when applicable. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2017-07 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017‐08, “Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310‐20), Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” The amendments in this ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities purchased at a premium. Upon adoption of the standard, premiums on these qualifying callable debt securities will be amortized to the earliest call date. Discounts on purchased debt securities will continue to be accreted to maturity. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. Upon transition, entities should apply the guidance on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption and provide the disclosures required for a change in accounting principle. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU 2017‐08 will have on its consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.) Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
