Presentation of Financial Statements
|
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carolina Trust BancShares, Inc. (the “Company”), its subsidiary Carolina Trust Bank (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary, Western Carolina Holdings, LLC, which owns certain Bank assets. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On August 16, 2016, the Company announced that it had consummated a statutory share exchange pursuant to which it became the parent company of the Bank. Shares of the Bank’s common stock were exchanged for shares of the Company’s common stock at a one-for-one exchange rate. The Company is a North Carolina business corporation that is operating as a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The Bank is the only subsidiary of the Company.
In management’s opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for fair presentation of the financial information as of June 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2018.
Information regarding the organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall, Subtopic 825-10 (“ASU 2016-01”) to address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The fair value measurement based on an exit price assumes that an asset or liability is exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability at the measurement date under current market conditions. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: (a) in the principal market for the asset or liability, or (2) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The company has adopted the standard and applied the guidance by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the 2018 fiscal year. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values were applied prospectively to equity investments that existed as of January 1, 2018. The Company is now reporting unrealized gains and losses of its marketable equity securities in income as compared to the previous method of reporting through other comprehensive income. The nonmarketable equity securities that do not have readily determinable values were previously recorded at cost. Following implementation, these securities, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank, or FHLB, stock, are recorded at cost less any impairment, plus or minus any observable changes in price resulting from transactions for similar or identical investments of the same issuer. The unrealized loss on equity securities in accumulated other comprehensive income in the amount of $443,000 was reclassified to retained earnings on January 1, 2018.

In August 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606 (“ASU 2014-09”). The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under existing guidance. This analysis may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. As a result of the deferral, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this new guidance recognized at the date of initial application. The Company adopted this standard in 2018 using the full retrospective approach. The majority of the Company’s revenues are generated from financial instruments which are not within the scope of this standard. Management has evaluated the impact for its various other revenue streams including the following: deposit account fees and service charges; other fees such as wire services and check cashing services; ATM surcharges; card related fees; and gains and losses from sales of foreclosed properties and fixed assets. This evaluation led management to conclude that this standard does not materially impact its financial statements. Additionally, based on underlying contracts, this standard requires the Company to report costs associated with debit card and ATM transactions netted against the related fees from such transactions. Previously, such costs were reported as check card expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, gross interchange fees totaled $131,000 and $252,000, respectively, and related costs totaled $79,000 and $154,000, respectively. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we reported on a net basis $52,000 and $98,000, respectively, as interchange fee income. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, gross interchange fees totaled $124,000 and $243,000, respectively, and related costs totaled $82,000 and $180,000, respectively. In the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we reported on a net basis $42,000 and $63,000, respectively, as interchange fee income.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amended the Leases topic of the Accounting Standards Codification to revise certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leasing transactions. The amendments will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, includ-ing interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. Currently the Company has several multi-year property leases for which reporting will be impacted by this standard. At the end of 2017, four of our locations have operating leases that expire in 2019 with aggregate payments totaling $157,000. If the new standard were in effect, an asset and a liability for the present value of payments would be recognized. Similarly, other property leases expire in 2020 and 2021 that have payments totaling $126,000 and $159,000, respectively.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The new standard introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale (AFS) debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that implementation of the new standard will have on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. The Company has formed a management committee including those responsible for credit analysis and review, accounting and finance, information technology and lending to develop an understanding of the requirements and plan implementation. The Company is adopting a software model for the ALLL model that has add-on functionality for compliance with the new standard.
Other accounting standards that have been issued by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Earnings Per Share
|
Basic Earnings per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, after giving retroactive effect to stock splits and dividends.
Diluted Earnings per Common Share
The computation of diluted earnings per common share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per common share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. These additional common shares would include employee equity share options, nonvested shares and similar equity instruments granted to employees, as well as the shares associated with the common stock warrants issued to the U.S. Treasury Department as part of the preferred stock transaction completed in February 2009. Diluted earnings per common share are based upon the actual number of options or shares granted and not yet forfeited unless doing so would be antidilutive. The numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of those potential common shares.
In June 2013, the U.S. Treasury sold the warrant to private investors in a Dutch auction process. Following the reorganization of the Bank into the Company, the right to acquire up to 86,957 shares of Bank common stock at a price of $6.90 per share was converted to the right to purchase the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock. The warrant book value, $426,000 is recognized as the Company’s stockholders’ equity. The warrant expires February 6, 2019.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no shares that were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, there were 40,931 shares related to stock options that were anti-dilutive because the exercise price exceeded the average market price for the period. Therefore, they were omitted from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for their respective periods.

Fair Value Measurements
|
The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities on and off the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. These fair value estimates are made at each reporting date, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are intended to represent the price an asset could be sold at or the price a liability could be settled for. However, given there is no active market or observable market transactions for many of the Company’s financial instruments, the Company has made estimates of many of these fair values which are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimated values. The methodologies for financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:
Cash and Due from Banks, Interest-Earning Deposits with Banks and Certificates of Deposit with Banks
The carrying amounts for cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with banks and certificates of deposit with banks approximate fair value because of the short maturities of those instruments.
Investment and Equity Securities
Fair value for investment and equity securities equals the quoted market price if such information is available. If a quoted market price is not available in active markets for identical securities (level 1), fair value may be estimated using observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads (level 2). Otherwise, unobservable inputs such as independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating on similar securities, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions (level 3). The fair value would be based on an exit price between market participants that may include adjustments for liquidity and credit.
Loans
The fair value of loans is estimated based on exit price. These cash flows include assumptions for prepayment estimates over each loan’s remaining life, considerations for the current interest rate environment compared to the weighted average rate of each portfolio and a credit risk component based on the historical and expected performance of each portfolio. The calculation also includes market liquidity and credit adjustments. These valuations are not comparable with the fair values disclosed for December 31, 2017 which were based on an entrance price basis.
Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable
The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
CAROLINA TRUST BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Unaudited)
Deposits
The fair value of demand deposits, savings, money market and negotiable order of withdrawal (NOW) accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated by discounting expected cash flows using the rates currently offered for instruments of similar remaining maturities.
Capital Lease Obligation, Federal Home Loan Bank Advances and Long Term Subordinated Debt
The fair value of borrowings is based upon discounted expected cash flows using current rates at which borrowings of similar maturity could be obtained.
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
With regard to commitments to extend credit discussed in Note 9, the fair value amounts are not material.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes, are as follows at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.
Level 1 |
Valuation based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
|
Level 2 |
Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
|
Level 3 |
Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Investment securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange and U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in an active over-the-counter market. Level 2 securities include U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises and municipal bonds. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods.
Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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 an allowance for loan losses 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 it for impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, a loan’s observable market price and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value exceeds the recorded investments in such loans. At June 30, 2018, the discounted cash flows method was used in determining the fair value of nine loans totaling $1.8 million and the fair value of the collateral method was used in the other twenty-three loans totaling $2.5 million. At December 31, 2017, the discounted cash flows method was used in determining the fair value of nine loans totaling $1.9 million and the fair value of the collateral method was used in the other twenty-nine loans totaling $4.2 million. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral and also when written down with the discounted cash flow method require classification in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the collateral for an impaired loan is classified as Level 3. Although appraisals of these properties are frequently based on comparable properties, they are not identical. Significant unobservable inputs will need to be used in assessing the value. When the discounted cash flows method is used, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. There have been no changes in valuation techniques for the period ended June 30, 2018. Valuation techniques are consistent with techniques used in prior periods.
The following table presents impaired loans that were re-measured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral or discounted cash flows during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Foreclosed Assets
Foreclosed assets are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets. Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. The fair value of foreclosed assets are classified as Level 3. Although appraisals of these properties are frequently based on comparable properties, they are not identical. Significant unobservable inputs will need to be used in assessing the value.

The carrying value of foreclosed assets is periodically reviewed and written down to fair value. Any loss is included in earnings. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, there were no assets that were written down prior to foreclosure. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, foreclosed assets in the amount of $1,158,000 were written down by $180,000 to $978,000 prior to foreclosure. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, foreclosed assets with a carrying value of $978,000 were written down by $248,000 to $730,000 subsequent to foreclosure. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, foreclosed assets with a carrying value of $767,000 were written down by $184,000 to $583,000. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, foreclosed assets with a carrying value of $776,000 were written down by $193,000 to $583,000.
Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are included in the table below.

*All mortgage-backed securities are issued either by the U.S. Government through GNMA or by government-sponsored enterprises FNMA or FHLMC.
Management considers the nature of the investment, the underlying causes of the decline in the market value and the severity and duration of the decline in market value in determining if impairment is other than temporary. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of June 30, 2018, management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The unrealized losses on debt securities are largely due to increases in market interest rates over the yields available at the time the underlying securities were purchased. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or re-pricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management analyzed the issuer data from public filings, reviewed transcripts of earnings discussions, and assessed whether the decline in value was other than temporary.
Management does not believe such securities are other-than-temporarily impaired due to reasons of credit quality for the debt securities. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2018, management believes the impairments detailed in the table above are temporary, and no impairment loss has been realized in the Company’s net income.
Securities with a fair value of $1.0 million at June 30, 2018 were pledged to secure public funds. The Company had no sales of securities during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

Qualitative factors are calculated for each segment of the loan portfolio. Factors include economic, concentrations, trends in terms of volume and mix, interest rate movement, and delinquency. If a restructured loan is delinquent, it is addressed in the delinquency factor for that segment. Because the number and dollar amounts of restructured loans represent a relatively small percentage (1%) of the total loan balances there is no specific qualitative factor tied to restructured loans.
There were no loans that were modified as troubled debt restructurings within the previous 12 months for which there was a payment default during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.
If a restructured loan defaults after being restructured, the loan is liquidated or charged off. Defaults of restructured loans are addressed in the qualitative factor of the delinquency component.

Credit Quality Indicators
As part of the on-going monitoring of credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the local, state and national economic outlook, (ii) concentrations of credit, (iii) interest rate movements, (iv) volume, mix and size of loans, and (v) delinquencies. The Company also has an internal Loan Review Officer that monitors risk grades on an on-going basis.
The Company utilizes a risk-grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its commercial and consumer loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1-9. Risk grades 1-5 represent pass rated loans. The general characteristics of the 9 risk grades are broken down into commercial and consumer and described below:
Loan Portfolio Risk Grades
Pass credits are grades 1-5 and represent credits with above average risk characteristics that are in accordance with loan policy guidelines regarding repayment ability, loan to value, and credit history. These types of credits have very few exceptions to policy.
Grade 6 – Watch List or Special Mention. The loans in this category include the following characteristics:
· |
Loans with one or more major exceptions with no mitigating factors.
|
· |
Extending loans that are currently performing satisfactorily but with potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s position at some future date. Potential weaknesses are the result of deviations from prudent lending practice.
|
· |
Loans where adverse economic conditions that develop subsequent to the loan origination that do not jeopardize liquidation of the debt but do substantially increase the level of risk may also warrant this rating.

Grade 7 – Substandard. A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans consistently not meeting the repayment schedule should be downgraded to substandard. Loans in this category are characterized by deterioration in quality exhibited by any number of well-defined weaknesses requiring corrective action. The weaknesses may include, but are not limited to (i) high debt to worth ratios, (ii) declining or negative earnings trends, (iii) declining or inadequate liquidity, (iv) improper loan structure, (v) questionable repayment sources, (vi) lack of well-defined secondary repayment source and (vii) unfavorable competitive comparisons.
Grade 8 – Doubtful. Loans classified Doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified Substandard, plus 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. However, these loans are not yet rated as loss because certain events may occur which would salvage the debt. Among these events are injection of capital, alternative financing and liquidation of assets or the pledging of additional collateral. The ability of the borrower to service the debt is extremely weak, overdue status is constant, the debt has been placed on non-accrual status, and no definite repayment schedule exists. Doubtful is a temporary grade where a loss is expected but is presently not quantified with any degree of accuracy. Once the loss position is determined, the amount is charged off.
Grade 9 – Loss. Loans classified Loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the loan even though partial recoveries may be realized in the future. Probable loss portions of doubtful assets should be charged against the allowance for loan losses. Loans may reside in this classification for administrative purposes for a period not to exceed the earlier of thirty (30) days or calendar quarter-end.

Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of an amount adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management determines the allowance for loan losses based on a number of factors, including a review and evaluation of the Company's loan portfolio and current and projected economic conditions locally and nationally. The allowance is monitored and analyzed in conjunction with the Company's loan analysis and grading program. The look-back period is a weighted twenty quarter period.

Based on this methodology, provisions for loan losses are made to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is created by direct charges to operations. Losses on loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses in the accounting period in which they are determined by management to be uncollectible. Recoveries during the period are credited to the allowance. The provision for loan losses is the amount necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to the amount that management has determined to be adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses of $88,000 and $340,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company recorded provisions for loan losses for the both the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 that totaled $64,000 and $215,000, respectively. Management realizes that general economic trends greatly affect loan losses, and no assurances can be made that future charges to the allowance for loan losses may not be significant in relation to the amount provided during a particular period, or that future evaluations of the loan portfolio based on conditions then prevailing will not require sizable additions to the allowance, thus necessitating similarly sizable charges to income.
Based on its best judgment, evaluation, and analysis of the loan portfolio, management considers the allowance for loan losses to be appropriate in light of the risk inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio for the reporting periods.

At June, 2018, the Company had pre-approved but unused lines of credit totaling $71.3 million. In management’s opinion, these unused lines of credit represent no more than normal lending risk to the Company and will be funded from normal sources of liquidity.
The Company has entered into loan transactions with certain of its directors and executive officers. Such loans were made in the ordinary course of business and on substantially the same terms and collateral as those for comparable transactions prevailing at the time and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.
A summary of related party loan activity for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

Stock Option Plans
|
The Company has six share-based compensation plans in effect at June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017. There were no compensation cost charged against income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $1,000 charged against income for those plans for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The compensation cost charged against income for those plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was $9,000 and $18,000, respectively.
During 2001, the Company adopted, with shareholder approval, an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Employee Plan”) and a Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Director Plan”). Each plan makes available options to purchase 100,771 shares of the Company’s common stock, for an aggregate number of common shares reserved for options under these plans of 201,542. The exercise price of all options granted to date under these plans is $3.14.
The options granted in 2006 through 2011 under the 2001 Director Plan and the 2001 Employee Plan vested over a four-year period. The options granted in 2005 under the 2001 Director Plan and the 2001 Employee Plan vested over a three-year period. All unexercised options expire ten years after the year of the grant or earlier in certain circumstances. The fair market value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The 2001 Employee Plan and the 2001 Director Plan expired in 2011 in accordance with their terms and no further options may be granted under these plans.
During 2005, the Company adopted, with shareholder approval, an Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Employee Plan”) and a Non-statutory Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Director Plan”). The 2005 Employee Plan made available options to purchase 72,389 shares of the Company’s common stock and the 2005 Director Plan made available 73,527 shares of the Company’s common stock, for an aggregate number of common shares reserved under these plans of 145,916. The exercise price of all options granted to date under these plans range from $2.13 to $12.25.

The options granted in 2005 under the 2005 Director Plan and the 2005 Employee Plan vested over a three-year period. The options granted in 2006 through 2015 under the 2005 Employee Plan vest over a four-year period. All unexercised options expire ten years after the date of grant. The fair market value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The 2005 Employee Plan and the 2005 Director Plan expired in 2015 in accordance with their terms and no further options may be granted under these plans. Additionally, the Company granted 10,000 shares of restricted stock under the 2005 Employee Plan in 2014. The shares vested over a 3-year period, fully vesting in January 2017.
As a result of the merger with Carolina Commerce Bank, Carolina Trust Bank assumed all outstanding options of Carolina Commerce under the existing terms and at the conversion rate of 0.625 shares of Carolina Trust stock for each share of Carolina Commerce stock. All options assumed became fully vested at the merger date. As of June 30, 2018, there were 76,845 options outstanding from the converted plans with exercise prices ranging from $2.13 to $10.40.

Off-Balance Sheet Risk and Commitments
|
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of conditions established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral obtained varies but may include real estate, stocks, bonds, and certificates of deposit.
A summary of the contract amount of the Company’s exposure to off-balance sheet credit risk as of June 30, 2018 is as follows:

Proposed Merger with Clover Community Bankshares, Inc.
The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Agreement”) dated as of June 14, 2018, with Clover Community Bankshares, Inc. (“Clover”), the parent holding company for Clover Community Bank, Clover, SC. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Clover will merge with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation in the merger. In addition, following the merger of Clover with and into the Company, Clover Community Bank will be merged with and into the Bank with the Bank as the surviving bank in the bank merger.
The transaction is subject to various closing conditions, including the receipt of requisite shareholder approvals and required approvals of state and federal banking regulators.
If the merger is completed, each share of Clover common stock issued and outstanding will be converted into the right to receive either $22.00 in cash or 2.7181 shares of the Company’s common stock. Clover shareholders will have the option to elect the type of consideration that they would prefer to receive, subject to required proration as provided in the Agreement. The merger consideration will be prorated such that 20% of Clover’s common shares outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the merger will be converted to the cash consideration and 80% of Clover’s common shares outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the merger will be converted to the stock consideration. Cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
In accordance with Clover’s articles of incorporation, each outstanding share of Clover preferred stock will automatically convert into one share of Clover common stock immediately prior to the closing of the merger. These shares of common stock will then be converted into the right to receive the merger consideration as described above.
Based on the Company’s 10-day volume weighted closing price of $8.09 per share as of June 12, 2018, the aggregate deal value is approximately $21.5 million.

Discussion of Financial Condition at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017
During the period from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018, total assets increased by approximately $64.2 million, or 15.80%. The increase, reflected primarily in interest-earning deposits with banks and loans, was funded by an increase in deposits and capital. Interest-earning deposits with banks, and securities available-for-sale at June 30, 2018 totaled $64.5 million compared to $34.8 million at December 31, 2017.
The Company’s investment securities portfolio as of June 30, 2018 totaled $28.9 million, a decrease of $2.2 million when compared to the $31.1 million reported at December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018, the Company had a net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities of $751,000, net of tax, as compared to a net unrealized loss of $732,000, net of tax, at December 31, 2017. On January 1, 2018 the Company adopted the FASB ASU 2016-01 in which there was an initial reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income in the amount of $443,000 recorded to retained earnings for the loss on equity investments.
At June 30, 2018, net loans constituted 78.62% of the Company’s total assets. Net loans increased by $25.1 million from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2018. Of all of the portfolio segments that increased during the first six months of 2018, commercial real estate experienced the largest amount of growth at $25.4 million or 11.93%. Management’s continued goal is to grow the loan portfolio to provide maximum income proportionate with acceptable risks.
As part of the ongoing monitoring of credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to (i) the local, state and national economic outlook, (ii) concentrations of credit, (iii) interest rate movements, (iv) volume, mix and size of loans, and (v) delinquencies. The Company also has an internal Loan Review Officer that monitors risk grades on an on-going basis. Furthermore, the Company employs a third party contractor to perform an annual loan review. The scope of the review is typically 50 – 60% of the loan portfolio.
At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 impaired loans, which consisted primarily of troubled debt restructurings and non-accrual loans, were $4.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Impaired loans of $1.7 million and $1.8 million had related allowances for loan losses totaling $249,000 and $248,000 at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. There were $2.9 million and $4.6 million of impaired loans without a specific allowance at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Impaired loans at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 consisted primarily of commercial real estate, commercial and industrial and residential mortgage loans. At June 30, 2018, there were eleven loans amounting to approximately $4.0 million, which were restructured to facilitate the borrowers’ ability to repay the outstanding balance. These eleven restructured loans are considered troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2018 and have specific reserves amounting to approximately $249,000. Of these eleven loans, nine loans totaling $3.3 million were accruing interest at June 30, 2018. At December 31, 2017, there were ten loans totaling $4.2 million which were restructured to facilitate the borrowers’ ability to repay the outstanding balance, and of these ten loans, nine loans totaling $3.4 million were accruing interest. Reserves for loans not considered impaired were approximately $3.6 million and $3.4 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The allowance for loan losses at both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 1.03% of gross loans outstanding.
The Company records provision for loan losses based upon known problem loans and estimated probable losses in the existing loan portfolio. The Company’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of two key components, which are a specific allowance for identified problem or impaired loans and a model estimating probable losses for the remainder of the portfolio.
Identified problem and impaired loans are measured for impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral, if the loan is collateral dependent. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change. The adequacy of the allowance is also reviewed by management based upon its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting the key lending areas of the Company and other conditions, such as new loan products, collateral values, loan concentrations, changes in the mix and volume of the loan portfolio, trends in portfolio credit quality, including delinquency and charge-off rates and current economic conditions that may affect a borrower's ability to repay. Although management believes it has established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at appropriate levels, future adjustments may be necessary if economic, real estate and other conditions differ substantially from the current operating environment.
Non-interest earning assets consisting of cash and due from banks, bank premises, equipment and software, foreclosed assets and other assets increased to $25.1 million at June 30, 2018 compared to $15.6 million at December 31, 2017. The increase is attributed mostly to the increase in cash and due from banks of $8.4 million, or 155.20% and to an increase in foreclosed assets of $1.2 million or 149.83%. At June 30, 2018, foreclosed assets consisted of six properties valued at $2.0 million. At December 31, 2017, foreclosed assets consisted of five properties valued at $789,000.
Deposit accounts represent the Company’s primary funding source and consist of non-interest bearing demand deposits, interest-bearing demand deposits, savings accounts and time deposits. Total deposits increased by approximately $52.6 million, or 15.45%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The growth is due to the increases in noninterest-earning demand deposits of $17.6 million, or 35.76%, interest-earning demand deposits of $10.7 million, or 9.28%, savings deposits of $1.5 million or 7.00%, and time deposits of $22.8 million or 14.79%.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $16.1 million at June 30, 2018, a decrease of $7.5 million over the $23.6 million advanced at December 31, 2017.
On March 29, 2018, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement and a Security Agreement with, and executed and delivered a Promissory Note to Community Bankers’ Bank, Midlothian, Virginia (the “Lender”). These documents provide for a $3 million secured term loan to the Company. The term loan accrues interest at the Wall Street Journal prime rate, which was 4.75% on the Promissory Note date, with a maximum rate of 18.0%. The Company will make 12 interest payments beginning on April 29, 2018, and on the 29th day of each month thereafter. Beginning on April 29, 2019, and on the 29th day of each month thereafter, the Company will make 84 payments of principal and interest of the lesser of $41,798.65, or accrued interest and so much of the $3,000,000 Promissory Note amount as has been advanced. Changes to the scheduled payments will be made to reflect changes, if any, in the interest rate. There is no penalty for voluntary prepayment of the Promissory Note, and on April 27th, the Company repaid the outstanding balance.
Stockholders’ equity amounted to $48.2 million, or 10.24% of total assets at June 30, 2018, compared to $29.1 million, or 7.16% of total assets at December 31, 2017.
Discussion of Results of Operations
For the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
Net Income and Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was $510,000 compared to $196,000 for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $314,000. Diluted earnings per common share was $0.08 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to $0.04 for the second quarter of 2017. The increase in net income is primarily due to an increase in interest income on loans of $830,000 as average loans increased by $54 million from the second quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018. The interest income was partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $309,000 due to an increase in total deposits outstanding and merger expenses of $323,000 relating to the proposed acquisition of Clover Community Bankshares, Inc.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the primary source of earnings for the Company. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on earning assets (primarily loans and investment securities) and the interest expense on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. Net interest spread is the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average assets for the period. Changes in net interest income result from changes in interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Net interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 totaled $4,043,000 compared to $3,420,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The Company’s net interest spread was approximately 3.52% and 3.64% for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net interest margin on average interest earning assets was 3.76% and 3.80% for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Net interest spread decreased by 12 basis points, and net interest margin decreased by 4 basis points. The decreases in net interest spread and net interest margin are due primarily to increase in the cost of funds.
Provision for Loan Losses
The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $88,000 and $64,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. This increase of $22,000 in the provision for loan losses is due to an increase in the amount of loans outstanding. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of total loans increased from 0.99% at June 30, 2017 to 1.03% at June 30, 2018. The increase in this percentage is due to increase in the qualitative factor for nature and volume of the portfolio for Residential and Commercial acquisition, development and construction (“ADC”) loans, Commercial Real Estate loans and Commercial and Industrial loans used in the model. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the allowance to a level deemed appropriate based on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
The following table sets forth information with respect to the asset quality of our loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 totaled $366,000, an increase of $110,000 over the $256,000 reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. The primary factors contributing to the overall increase were the increase in overdraft fees on deposits of $47,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017 and the unrealized gain on equity securities of $50,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. On January 1, 2018 the net unrealized loss on equity securities was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and from that date forward will be recorded on the income statement.
Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that merchants pay to the Bank and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. Interchange fees consist of income from check card usage, point of sale income from PIN-based debit card transactions and ATM service fees. With the adoption of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, in 2018, interchange fees are reported net of related costs. See Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. Previously, such costs were reported as check card expense. Interchange fees for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 reported on a net basis totaled $52,000 and $42,000, respectively.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expenses for the June 30, 2018 and 2017 quarters totaled $3,620,000 and $3,327,000, respectively. The $293,000 increase was due in part to Merger expenses of $323,000 relating to the proposed acquisition of Clover Community Bank and an increase of foreclosed asset expenses in the amount of $80,000 due to the valuation adjustment of one property. Slightly offsetting these increases was a $81,000 or 29.95% decrease in data processing expenses. During the second quarter of 2017, data processing expenses were higher due to the conversion of our core processing system that was complete in April of that year.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recorded income tax expense of $191,000 for the three-months ended June 30, 2018 resulting in an effective tax rate of 27%. For the same period in 2017, the Company recorded income tax expense of $89,000 with an effective tax rate of 31%. The Company’s federal income tax rate was lowered from 34% to 21% due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on December 22, 2017. For 2018, the effective tax rate is higher than the statutory rate mainly due to the $131,000 in merger expenses that are non-deductible.
In June 2017, the North Carolina corporate tax rate was lowered from 3% to 2.5%, effective in 2019. Management has determined initially that the impact of the rate change on deferred tax assets is not material and will continue to monitor the impact until the new tax rate is effective in 2019.

The Company recorded provision for loan losses of $340,000 and $215,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. This increase in the provision for loan losses is due to an increase in the amount of loans outstanding. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the allowance to a level deemed appropriate based on management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
Non-interest Income
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 totaled $696,000 and $450,000, respectively. The increase of $246,000 is comprised of overdraft fees on deposits and the unrealized gain on equity securities. Overdraft fees on deposits increased by $103,000 or 58.15% and the unrealized gain on equity securities was $88,000.On January 1, 2018 the net unrealized loss on equity securities was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and from that date forward will be recorded on the income statement.
Interchange fees, or “swipe” fees, are charges that merchants pay to the Bank and other card-issuing banks for processing electronic payment transactions. Interchange fees consist of income from check card usage, point of sale income from PIN-based debit card transactions and ATM service fees. With the adoption of ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, in 2018, interchange fees are reported net of related costs. See Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. Previously, such costs were reported as check card expense. Interchange fees for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 reported on a net basis totaled $98,000 and $63,000, respectively.
Non-interest Expense
Non-interest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 totaled $6,716,000 and $6,304,000, respectively. The $412,000 increase was due in part to $323,000 of merger expenses for the proposed acquisition of Clover Community Bank and a $180,000, or 5.13%, increase in compensation expense due to salary and wage increases. The increase in salaries and wages was attributable to annual raises and performance bonuses. Slightly offsetting these increases was a $147,000 or 27.30% decrease in data processing expenses. During the first quarter of 2017, data processing expenses were higher due to the conversion of our core processing system that was complete in April of that year.
Income Tax Expense
The Company recorded income tax expense of $359,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 resulting in an effective tax rate of 25%. For the same period in 2017, the Company recorded income tax expense of $198,000 with an effective tax rate of 33%. The Company’s federal income tax rate was lowered from 34% to 21% due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on December 22, 2017. For 2018, the effective tax rate is higher than the statutory rate mainly due to the $131,000 in merger expenses that are non-deductible.
In June 2017, the North Carolina corporate tax rate was lowered from 3% to 2.5%, effective in 2019. Management has determined initially that the impact of the rate change on deferred tax assets is not material and will continue to monitor the impact until the new tax rate is effective in 2019
Liquidity
The Company’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, withdrawals and maturities of deposits, and other cash outflows in a cost effective manner. The Company’s principal sources of liquidity are deposits, scheduled payments and prepayments of loan principal, maturities of investment securities, access to liquid assets, and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan payments and maturing investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Liquid assets, which consist of cash and due from banks, interest-earning deposits with banks, certificates of deposit with banks, investment securities classified as available-for-sale, and equity securities represented 16.95% and 10.25% of total assets at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Should the need arise, management believes the Company would have the capability to sell securities classified as available-for-sale or to borrow funds as necessary to meet the Company’s cash flow demands. The Company has established credit lines with other financial institutions to purchase up to $15.5 million in federal funds and to borrow up to $10 million under a reverse repurchase agreement. There were no borrowings outstanding against these credit lines at June 30, 2018. The Company has also established a credit line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The credit line is secured by a portion of the Company’s loan portfolio that qualifies under FHLB guidelines as eligible collateral. Total availability, based on collateral pledged at June 30, 2018 was $74.9 million, of which $16.1 million was advanced and $7 million was securing a letter of credit.
Total deposits were $393.3 million and $340.7 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Time deposits, which are the only deposit accounts that have stated maturity dates, are generally considered to be rate sensitive. Time deposits represented 44.95% and 45.20% of total deposits at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had brokered time deposits of $19.2 million and $23.3 million, respectively. The Company also obtains time accounts by connecting with institutional depositors through an online listing service. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, the deposits attributed to the listing service were $13.0 million and $14.3 million, respectively. Management accepts time deposits from outside the Bank’s local market area when such funding sources are necessary to fund growth and the rates paid are comparable to rates offered to retail customers or lower. Management believes most time deposits are relationship-oriented. While the Company will need to pay competitive rates to retain these deposits at their maturities, there are other subjective factors that will determine their continued retention. Based upon prior experience, the Company anticipates that a substantial portion of outstanding certificates of deposit will renew upon maturity.
Management believes that the Company's current sources of funds provide adequate liquidity for its current cash flow needs.
Capital Resources
Future growth and expansion of the Company are dictated by the ability to create capital, which is generated principally by retained earnings. Adequacy of the Company's capital is also monitored to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. One of management’s primary objectives is to maintain a strong capital position in order to warrant confidence from customers, investors, bank regulators and stockholders. A measure of capital position is capital adequacy, defined as the amount of capital needed to maintain future asset growth and absorb unforeseen losses. Regulators consider a variety of factors in determining an institution’s capital adequacy, including quality and stability of earnings, asset quality, guidance, expertise and liquidity. Regulatory guidelines place an emphasis on stockholders’ equity in relationship to total assets adjusted for risk.
In July 2013, the Federal Reserve issued final rules to include technical changes to its market risk capital rules to align them with the Basel III regulatory capital framework and meet certain requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The final rules require the Bank to comply with the following minimum capital ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% of risk-weighted assets; (iii) a total capital ratio of 8.0% of risk-weighted assets; and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4.0% of total assets. The rules also require the Bank to maintain a capital conservation buffer. The capital conservation buffer requirement began January 1, 2016, at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets, and will increase by the same amount each year until fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases, and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.
When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the rules will require the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (which is added to the 4.5% common equity Tier 1 ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0% upon full implementation), (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 6.0% Tier 1 capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5% upon full implementation), (iii) a minimum ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the 2.5% capital conservation buffer (which is added to the 8.0% total capital ratio as that buffer is phased in, effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5% upon full implementation), and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average assets.
Management considers the Bank to be well-capitalized and expects to be able to meet future needs caused by growth and expansion, as well as capital requirements implemented by the regulatory agencies.
The Bank calculates regulatory capital under the U.S. Basel III Standardized Approach. As a small bank holding company with less than $1 billion in total assets, the risk-based capital guidelines of the Federal Reserve do not apply to the Company on a consolidated basis.

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 Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective. No change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
(b) Underwritten Follow-On Public Offering. On April 18, 2018, the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-224178) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to the Registration Statement, the Company registered the offer and sale of shares of its common stock, $2.50 par value per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $23,000,000.
On April 23, 2018, the Company issued and sold 2,310,000 shares of its common stock in an underwritten follow-on public offering. Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., was the managing underwriter for the offering. On May 14, 2018, Sandler O’Neill exercised, in part, its option to purchase additional shares of the Company’s common stock. Pursuant to the exercise of the underwriter’s option, the Company issued and sold an additional 186,000 shares of its common stock. Total underwriting discounts and commissions (inclusive of the underwriter’s option) equaled $1,148,000. A reasonable estimate of the total expenses of the offering, excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, is approximately $382,000 These expenses are not direct or indirect payments (1) to directors, officers, or general partners of the Company or their associates; (2) to persons owning ten percent or more of any class of equity securities of the Company; or (3) to affiliates of the Company. The offering proceeds to the Company after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and total expenses are expected to be $18,438,000.
Following the closing of the offering, the Company placed $9,038,000 of the net offering proceeds in a deposit account at the Bank, invested $6,400,000 in the bank, and used an additional $3,000,000 of the net offering proceeds to repay the full outstanding balance of its secured term loan with Community Bankers’ Bank, Midlothian, Virginia. As indicated in its Registration Statement on Form S-1, the Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds to support the continued growth of its franchise and for other general corporate purposes.
