SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

When included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or in other documents that Investar Holding Corporation (the “Company”) files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or in statements made by or on behalf of the Company, words like “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “think,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would,” “outlook” and similar expressions or the negative version of those words are intended to identify forward-looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described therein. The Company’s forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and estimates that management believes to be reasonable in light of the information available at the time such statements are made. However, many of the matters addressed by these statements are inherently uncertain and could be affected by many factors beyond management’s control. Factors that could have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 that the Company filed with the SEC on March 31, 2015 and Part II, Item 1A. – Risk Factors, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Additional risk factors may also be described in reports that the Company files from time to time with the SEC.

Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified, you should not rely on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of future events. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to update our forward-looking statements, and we do not intend to release publicly any updates or changes in our expectations concerning the forward-looking statements or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances upon which any forward-looking statement may be based, except as required by law.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Investar Holding Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, including the notes thereto, which were included as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015.

Nature of Operations

Investar Holding Corporation, headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, provides full banking services, excluding trust services, through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Investar Bank (the “Bank”), a Louisiana-chartered bank. The Company’s primary market is South Louisiana. The Company currently operates 11 full service banking offices located throughout its market and had 176 employees at June 30, 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material. Material estimates that are susceptible to a significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of financial instruments and the determination of other-than-temporary impairments of securities.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 financial statements to be consistent with the 2015 presentation.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s loan portfolio consists of the various types of loans described in Note 4, Loans. Real estate or other assets secure most loans. The majority of loans has been made to individuals and businesses in the Company’s market of South Louisiana. Customers are dependent on the condition of the local economy for their livelihoods and servicing their loan obligations. The Company does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or individual customer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Technical Corrections and Improvements Update No. 2015-10. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Update No. 2015-10 in June 2015 to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). This Update contains amendments that will affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments generally fall into one of the following types of amendments: amendments related to differences between original guidance and the Codification, guidance clarification and reference corrections, simplification, and minor improvements. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” Update No. 2015-07.The FASB issued Update No. 2015-07 in May2015 to address diversity in practice related to how certain investments measured at net asset value with redemption dates in the future are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

FASB ASC Topic 835-30 “Interest – Imputation of Interest” Update No. 2015-03. The FASB issued Update No. 2015-03 in April 2015 to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio, caused by interest rate increases, are not credit issues and the Company does not intend to sell the securities. Furthermore, it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases. The Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

The weighted average tax equivalent yield, amortized cost and approximate fair value of debt securities, by contractual maturity (including mortgage-backed securities), are shown below as of the dates presented. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties (dollars in thousands).

On October 1, 2011, the Bank acquired South Louisiana Business Bank (“SLBB”), a full service commercial bank headquartered in Prairieville, Louisiana. On May 1, 2013, the Bank acquired First Community Bank (“FCB”), a full service commercial bank headquartered in Hammond, Louisiana.

Total loans at June 30, 2015 include approximately $41.1 million of loans acquired in the FCB and SLBB acquisitions that were recorded at fair value as of their respective acquisition dates. Included in the acquired loan balances at June 30, 2015 were approximately $0.2 million in loans 30-59 days past due and $1.1 million in nonaccrual loans.

Total loans at December 31, 2014 include approximately $45.0 million of loans acquired in the FCB and SLBB acquisitions that were recorded at fair value as of their respective acquisition dates. Included in the acquired loan balances at December 31, 2014 were approximately $0.3 million in loans 30-59 days past due, $14,000 in loans 60-89 days past due and $1.1 million in nonaccrual loans.

Credit Quality Indicators

Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The following definitions are utilized for risk ratings, which are consistent with the definitions used in supervisory guidance:

Pass – Loans not meeting the criteria below are considered pass. These loans have the highest credit characteristics and financial strength. Borrowers possess characteristics that are highly profitable, with low to negligible leverage and demonstrate significant net worth and liquidity.

Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as recorded assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the assets have absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these assets.

The Company had no loans that were classified as doubtful or loss as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Loan participations and whole loans sold to and serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans were approximately $339.2 million and $189.6 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes loans to its executive officers, principal stockholders, directors and to companies in which these individuals are principal owners. Loans outstanding to such borrowers (including companies in which they are principal owners) amounted to approximately $24.6 million and $22.8 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These loans are all current and performing according to the original terms. These loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the Company or the Bank and did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

The table below shows the aggregate amount of loans to such related parties as of the dates presented (dollars in thousands).

Impaired Loans

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company determines that it will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. Generally, those loans rated substandard or special mention are evaluated for impairment each quarter. Determination of impairment is treated the same across all classes of loans. When the Company identifies a loan as impaired, it measures the impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loans is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases when foreclosure is probable, the Company uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, instead of discounted cash flows. If the Company determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), the Company recognizes impairment through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses.

When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual, all payments are applied to principal, under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received, under the cash basis method.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was not committed to lend additional funds to any customer whose loan was classified as impaired.

The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of the dates indicated. The Company determined the specific allowance based on the present values of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the remaining source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In those cases, the current fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling cost, was used to determine the specific allowance recorded (dollars in thousands).

Troubled Debt Restructurings

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession for other than an insignificant period of time to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loans to more affordable terms before such loans reach nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. In cases where the Company grants the borrower new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal, the Company measures any impairment on the restructuring as previously noted for impaired loans.

Loans classified as TDRs, consisting of ten credits, totaled approximately $1.5 million at June 30, 2015 compared to seven credits totaling approximately $0.6 million at December 31, 2014. Nine of the ten TDRs were acquired from FCB. Nine of the ten credits were considered TDRs due to modification of terms through adjustments to maturity and one was considered a TDR due to modification of terms through principal payment forbearance, paying interest only for a specified period of time. Eight of the ten credits are currently performing in accordance with their modified terms. Two TDRs were in default of their modified terms as of the date these financial statements were issued and are included in nonaccrual loans. The Company individually evaluates each TDR for allowance purposes, primarily based on collateral value, and excludes these loans from the loan population that is evaluated by applying qualitative factors.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was not committed to lend additional funds to any customer whose loan was classified as a TDR.

NOTE 6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan. The Company’s 2014 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) authorizes the grant of various types of equity grants and awards, such as restricted stock, stock options and stock appreciation rights to eligible participants, which include all of the Company’s employees and non-employee directors. The Plan has reserved 600,000 shares of common stock for grant, award or issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which determines, within the provisions of the Plan, those eligible employees to whom, and the times at which, grants and awards will be made. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may delegate its authority and duties under the Plan to specified officers; however, only the Compensation Committee may approve the terms of grants and awards to the Company’s executive officers.  

Stock Options

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. Stock option expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $43,000 and $74,000, respectively. There was no stock option expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

The assumptions presented below were used for the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Expected dividends		0.17	%
Expected volatility		18.48	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.79	%
Expected term (in years)		7.0
Weighted-average grant date fair value	$	3.75

At June 30, 2015, there was $0.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5 years.

At June 30, 2015, the shares underlying outstanding stock options and exercisable stock options had aggregate intrinsic values of $0.3 million and $43,000, respectively.

Time Vested Restricted Stock Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued shares of time vested restricted stock with vesting terms ranging from two to six years. The total share-based compensation expense to be recognized for these awards is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date applied to the total number of shares awarded and is amortized over the vesting period.

The table below summarizes the time vested restricted stock award activity for the periods presented.

At June 30, 2015, there was $0.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to time vested restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.7 years.

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company currently holds forward starting interest rate swap contracts to manage exposure against the variability in the expected future cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in the 1-month LIBOR associated with the forecasted issuances of 1-month fixed rate debt arising from a rollover strategy. An interest rate swap is an agreement whereby one party agrees to pay a fixed rate of interest on a notional principal amount in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest on the same notional amount, for a predetermined period of time, from a second party. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged. The maximum length of time over which the Company is currently hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is five years. The total notional amount of the derivative contracts is $20.0 million.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, a gain of $0.1 million and a loss of $0.2 million, respectively, have been recognized in other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the change in fair value of the interest rate swap. The swap contract had a negative fair value of $0.5 million as of June 30, 2015 and has been recorded in other

liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Theloss of $0.4 million included in accumulated other comprehensive income would be reclassified to current earnings if the hedge transactions become probable of not occurring. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swap contracts.

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”), disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, is required. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows, and the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured 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 is based upon quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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

Cash and Due from Banks – For these short-term instruments, fair value is the carrying value. Cash and due from banks is classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Federal Funds Sold – The fair value is the carrying value. The Company classifies these assets in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities and Other Equity Securities – Where quoted prices are available in an active market, the Company classifies the securities within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities are defined as both long and short positions. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds and exchange-traded equities.

If quoted market prices are not available, the Company estimates fair values using pricing models and discounted cash flows that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, and credit spreads. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include Government Sponsored Enterprise obligations, corporate bonds and other securities. Mortgage-backed securities are included in level 2 if observable inputs are available. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, the Company classifies those securities in level 3. Equity securities are valued based on market quoted prices and are classified in level 1 as they are actively traded.

25

INVESTAR HOLDING CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Loans – For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (for example, one-to-four family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans (for example, commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates for comparable loans. Fair values for nonperforming loans, which are loans for which the accrual of interest has stopped or loans that are contractually 90 past due on which interest continues to accrue, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable. The Company classifies loans in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans held for sale are measured using quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, comparable market values or discounted cash flow analyses may be utilized. The Company classifies these assets in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Real Estate Owned – The fair values are estimated based on recent appraisal values of the property less estimated costs to sell the property, as real estate owned is valued at the lower of cost or fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore real estate owned may be classified in level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. When inputs are observable, these assets are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued Interest – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value and are classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposit Liabilities – The fair values disclosed for noninterest-bearing demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). These noninterest-bearing deposits are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts of variable-rate (for example interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market accounts), fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates on comparable instruments to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. All interest-bearing deposits are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-Term Borrowings – The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values.  The Company classifies these borrowings in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Borrowings – The fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flows analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is therefore classified in level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments – The fair value of commitments to extend credit was not significant.

Derivative Instruments – The fair value for interest rate swap agreements are based upon the amounts required to settle the contracts. These derivative instruments are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

INVESTAR HOLDING CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The effective tax rates differ from the statutory tax rate of 35% largely due to tax exempt interest income earned on certain investment securities.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend money with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses. The Company applies the same credit standards used in the lending process when extending these commitments, and periodically reassesses the customer’s creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews and collateral is obtained based on the Company’s assessment of the transaction. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

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

This section presents management’s perspective on the financial condition and results of operations of Investar Holding Corporation (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Investar Bank (the “Bank”). The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included herein, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes and the related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations in the Annual Report on Form 10-K that the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 31, 2015.

Overview

Our principal business is lending to and accepting deposits from individuals and small to medium-sized businesses. We generate our income principally from interest on loans and, to a lesser extent, our securities investments, as well as from fees charged in connection with our various loan and deposit services and gains on the sales of loans and securities. Our principal expenses are interest expense on interest-bearing customer deposits and borrowings, salaries, employee benefits, occupancy costs, data processing and other operating expenses. We measure our performance through our net interest margin, return on average assets, and return on average equity, among other metrics, while maintaining appropriate regulatory leverage and risk-based capital ratios.

Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

Loans

General. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, constitute our most significant asset, comprising 73.1% and 70.8% of our total assets at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Loans, excluding loans held for sale, increased $50.8 million, or 8.2%, to $673.6 million at June 30, 2015 from $622.8 million at December 31, 2014 as a result of organic loan growth in our markets. The table below sets forth the balance of loans, excluding loans held for sale, outstanding by loan type as of the dates presented, and the percentage of each loan type to total loans (dollars in thousands).

The following table sets forth loans outstanding at June 30, 2015, which, based on remaining scheduled repayments of principal, are due in the periods indicated. Loans with balloon payments and longer amortizations are often repriced and extended beyond the initial maturity when credit conditions remain satisfactory. Demand loans, loans having no stated schedule of repayments and no stated maturity, and overdrafts are reported below as due in one year or less.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale decreased $25.2 million, or 24.4%, to $78.2 million at June 30, 2015 from $103.4 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease is due to the $26.8 million decrease in the balance of consumer loans held for sale at June 30, 2015 when compared to December 31, 2014. Two consumer loan sales were postponed by the buyer from the fourth quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2015, therefore increasing the balance of consumer loans held for sale at December 31, 2014. In the first six months of 2015, we originated $31.3 million and $179.1 million in mortgage loans and consumer loans for sale, respectively, as compared to $35.6 million and $45.8 million in mortgage loans and consumer loans for sale, respectively, originated in the first six months of 2014.

One-to-four family mortgage loans not held in our portfolio are typically sold on a “best efforts” basis within 30 days after the loan is funded. This means that residential real estate originations are locked in at a contractual rate with a third party investor or directly with government sponsored agencies, and we are obligated to sell the mortgage only if it is closed and funded. As a result, the risk we assume is conditioned upon loan underwriting and market conditions in the national mortgage market. Although loan fees and some interest income are derived from mortgage loans held for sale, our largest source of income is gains from the sale of these loans in the secondary market, which is recorded in gain on sale of loans, net on the consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized gains from the sales of mortgage loans of $0.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in gains from the sales of mortgage loans is attributable to the decline in originations over the same periods.

We also sell pools of our consumer loans in order to manage our concentration in consumer loans as well as to generate liquidity. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized gains from the sales of consumer loans of $0.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, which is recorded in gain on sale of loans, net on the consolidated statements of operations.

Loan Concentrations. Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to multiple borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. At each of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than loans in the categories listed in the table above.

Investment Securities

We purchase investment securities primarily to provide a source for meeting liquidity needs, with return on investment a secondary consideration. We also use investment securities as collateral for certain deposits and other types of borrowing. Investment securities totaled $106.5 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of $13.6 million, or 14.7%, from $92.8 million at December 31, 2014. The increase in investment securities at June 30, 2015 compared to December 31, 2014 was primarily due to our investment of cash not used in our lending activities into investment securities.

The securities portfolio consists primarily of U.S. government agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities and municipal securities, although the Company also holds corporate bonds and equity securities. The Asset Liability Committee (“ALCO”) reviews the investment portfolio on an ongoing basis to ensure that the investments conform to the Company’s investment policy.

The following table shows the carrying value of our investment securities portfolio by investment type and the percentage that such investment type comprises of our entire portfolio as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands).

	June 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
	Balance		Percentage of Portfolio			Balance		Percentage of Portfolio
Obligations of other U.S. government agencies and      corporations	$	14,049		13.2	%	$	8,339		9.0	%

Total	$	106,466		100.0	%	$	92,818		100.0	%

The investment portfolio consists of available for sale and held to maturity securities. Held to maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. The carrying values of the Company’s available for sale securities are adjusted for unrealized gains or losses as valuation allowances, and any gains or losses are reported on an after-tax basis as a component of other comprehensive income. Any expected credit loss due to the inability to collect all amounts due according to the security’s contractual terms is recognized as a charge against earnings. Any remaining unrealized loss related to other factors would be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of taxes.

The following table sets forth the stated maturities and weighted average yields of our investment debt securities based on the amortized cost of our investment portfolio as of June 30, 2015 (dollars in thousands).

The maturity of mortgage-backed securities reflects scheduled repayments based upon the contractual maturities of the securities. Weighted average yields on tax-exempt obligations have been computed on a fully tax equivalent basis assuming a federal tax rate of 34%.

Premises and Equipment

Bank premises and equipment increased $0.9 million, or 3.2%, to $29.4 million at June 30, 2015 from $28.5 million at December 31, 2014, primarily due to the relocation of our Prairieville branch in the first quarter of 2015 and the ongoing construction of a new branch location in Gonzales, Louisiana.

32

Deposits

The following table sets forth the composition of our deposits and the percentage of each deposit type to total deposits at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands).

	June 30, 2015					December 31, 2014
	Amount		Percentage of Total Deposits			Amount		Percentage of Total Deposits
Noninterest-bearing demand deposits	$	86,339		12.2	%	$	70,217		11.2	%
NOW accounts		131,136		18.6			116,644		18.6
Money market deposit accounts		92,126		13.1			77,589		12.3
Savings accounts		52,546		7.4			53,332		8.5
Time deposits		343,860		48.7			310,336		49.4
Total deposits	$	706,007		100.0	%	$	628,118		100.0	%

Total deposits at June 30, 2015 were $706 million, an increase of $77.9 million, or 12.4%, from December 31, 2014. The increase in total deposits was driven primarily by an increase in time deposits of $33.5 million, or 10.8%, and an increase of $16.1 million, or 23%, in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, from December 31, 2014. We believe our deposit cross sell strategy continues to impact both noninterest-bearing demand deposit and NOW account growth.

Management is focused on growing and maintaining a stable source of funding, specifically core deposits, and allowing more costly deposits to mature, within the context of mitigating interest rate risk and maintaining our net interest margin and sufficient levels of liquidity. As we have grown, our deposit mix has evolved from a primary reliance on certificates of deposit, which are less relationship driven and less dependent on the convenience of branch locations than other types of deposit accounts. As our branch network has expanded and the reach of our relationship-driven approach to banking has grown, our mix of deposits has shifted and is relatively balanced between transactional accounts, such as checking, savings, money market and NOW accounts, and certificates of deposits.

The following table shows the maturity of certificates of deposit and other time deposits of $100,000 or more at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands).

Borrowings

Total borrowings include securities sold under agreements to repurchase, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”), a line of credit with First National Bankers Bankshares, Inc. FNBB (“FNBB”), and junior subordinated debentures. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $2.8 million to $15.1 million at June 30, 2015 from $12.3 million at December 31, 2014. Advances from the FHLB were $79.1 million at June 30, 2015, a decrease of $46.7 million, or 37.1%, from FHLB advances of $125.8 million at December 31, 2014. Excess cash not used in our lending activities or to purchase investment securities was used to pay down these advances. We had no funds drawn on the line of credit with FNBB at June 30, 2015. The note payable balance of $3.6 million at June 30, 2015 represents the junior subordinated debentures that we assumed in connection with the FCB acquisition.

Results of Operations

Performance Summary

Three months ended June 30, 2015 vs. three months ended June 30, 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, net income was $1.8 million, or $0.25 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.27 and $0.26 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to a $1.5 million increase in net interest income offset by an increase in noninterest expense. Return on average assets increased to 0.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from 0.61% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to the increase in net income. Return on average equity was 6.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 7.45% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in return on average equity is due to the increase in the Company’s equity as a result of the initial public offering which was completed in the third quarter of 2014.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 vs. six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net income was $3.8 million, or $0.52 per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $1.9 million, or $0.50 and $0.47 per basic and diluted share, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income is primarily attributable to a $3.2 million increase in net interest income and a $2 million increase in noninterest income, offset by an increase in noninterest expense. Return on average assets increased to 0.86% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from 0.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due to the increase in net income. Return on average equity was 7.17% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 6.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, which is the largest component of our earnings, is the difference between interest earned on assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities. The primary factors affecting net interest income are the volume, yield and mix of our rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as well as the amount of our nonperforming loans and the interest rate environment.

The primary factors affecting net interest margin are changes in interest rates, competition and the shape of the interest rate yield curve. The decline in interest rates since 2008 has put significant downward pressure on net interest margin over the past few years. Each rate reduction in interest rate indices and, in particular, the prime rate, rates paid on U.S. Treasury securities and the London Interbank Offering Rate, resulted in a reduction in the yield on our variable rate loans indexed to one of these indices. However, rates on our deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities did not decline proportionally. To offset the effects on our net interest income and net interest margin from the prevailing interest rate environment, we have continued to focus our interest-earning assets in loans and shift our interest-bearing liabilities from higher-costing deposits, like certificates of deposit, to noninterest-bearing and other lower cost deposits.

Three months ended June 30, 2015 vs. three months ended June 30, 2014. Net interest income increased 24.5% to $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $6.3 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was a direct result of continued growth of the Company’s loan portfolio with an increase in net interest income of $1.8 million due to an increase in volume offset by a $0.3 million decrease related to a reduction in yield when compared to the second quarter of 2014. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, average loans increased approximately $153.9 million as compared to the same period in 2014, while average investment securities increased approximately $24.9 million. Over the same comparative period, average interest-bearing liabilities increased approximately $122.4 million. All of these changes were driven by organic loan and deposit growth.

Net interest margin was 3.70% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, down 15 basis points from 3.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The yield on interest-earning assets was 4.37% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 compared to 4.56% for the second quarter of 2014. Consumer loan fees were historically recognized as a component of interest income. Now that the Company has transitioned to selling a majority of the consumer loans that it originates, the fees earned on consumer loans are now included in noninterest income, impacting the yield realized on the consumer loan portfolio.

34

Interest income was $9.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $7.4 million for the same period in 2014 as a result of an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets, offset by a decrease in the rate earned on such assets. As the average balances table below illustrates, loan interest income made up substantially all of our interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Competitive factors and the prolonged low interest rate environment have contributed to a lower yield on earning assets. The overall yield on interest-earning assets decreased 19 basis points to 4.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 4.56% for the same period in 2014. The loan portfolio yielded 4.75% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 4.96% for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

Interest expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $0.2 million compared to interest expense of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as a result of an increase in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities remained constant at 0.81% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

Average Balances and Yields. The following table sets forth average balance sheet data, including all major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, together with the interest earned or paid and the average yield or rate paid on each such category for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Averages presented in the table below are daily averages and include the average balances of nonaccruing assets in the respective line items (dollars in thousands).

⁽¹⁾ Changes in interest due to both volume and rate have been allocated on a pro-rata basis using the absolute ratio value of amounts calculated.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 vs. six months ended June 30, 2014. Net interest income increased 26.1% to $15.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $12.1 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was a direct result of continued growth of the Company’s loan portfolio with an increase in net interest income of $3.9 million due to an increase in volume offset by a $0.7 million decrease related to a reduction in yield when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, average loans increased approximately $167.8 million as compared to the same period in 2014, while average investment securities increased approximately $22.3 million. Over the same comparative period, average interest-bearing liabilities increased approximately $134.7 million. All of these changes were driven by organic loan and deposit growth.

Net interest margin was 3.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, down 18 basis points from 3.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The yield on interest-earning assets was 4.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to 4.61% for the same period in 2014. Consumer loan fees were historically recognized as a component of interest income. Now that the Company has transitioned to selling a majority of the consumer loans that it originates, the fees earned on consumer loans are now included in noninterest income, impacting the yield realized on the consumer loan portfolio.

Interest income was $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $14.4 million for the same period in 2014 as a result of an increase in the volume of interest-earning assets, offset by a decrease in the rate earned on such assets. As the average balances table below illustrates, loan interest income made up substantially all of our interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Competitive factors and the prolonged low interest rate environment have contributed to a lower yield on earning assets. The overall yield on interest-earning assets decreased 25 basis points to 4.36% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 4.61% for the same period in 2014. The loan portfolio yielded 4.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to 5.02% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Interest expense was $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $0.5 million compared to interest expense of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as a result of an increase in the volume of interest-bearing liabilities, offset by a decrease in cost of such liabilities. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased three basis points to 0.79% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. In particular, the weighted average rate paid on long-term debt decreased eight basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to same period in 2014. The decrease in deposit rates was driven by competitive factors and the general interest rate environment, as well as our strategy to cross-sell using lower cost deposits.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income includes, among other things, fees generated from our deposit services and in connection with our mortgage and consumer loan activities, gains on sales of loans, and securities gains. We expect to continue to develop new products that generate noninterest income and enhance our existing products in order to diversify our revenue sources.

Three months ended June 30, 2015 vs. three months ended June 30, 2014. Total noninterest income increased $0.6 million, or 36.9%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $0.3 million in other operating income, which mainly consists of loan servicing fees. The increase in loan servicing fees is a direct result of the growth of our servicing portfolio.

Gain on sale of loans is our largest component of noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $46,000, or 4.5%, to $1.1 million compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was generated by increased originations and sales of pools of our consumer loans. We expect to continue to sell pools of our consumer loans quarterly as part of our ongoing loan portfolio management.

Service charges on deposit accounts include maintenance fees on accounts, account enhancement charges for additional deposit account features, per item charges and overdraft fees. Service charges on deposits increased 32.9% to $97,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $73,000 for the same period in 2014. The increase is a direct result of organic deposit growth.

Fee income on loans held for sale increased to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $0.1 million for the same period in 2014 due to an increase of $66.8 million in originations of consumer loans held for sale.

Other operating income was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2014. Other operating income consists of interchange fees, ATM surcharge income, and loan servicing fees.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 vs. six months ended June 30, 2014. Total noninterest income increased $2.0 million, or 78.8%, to $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. This increase resulted primarily from an increase of $1.1 million in gain on sale of loans.

38

Gain on sale of loans is our largest component of noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $1.1 million, or 69.7%, to $2.8 million compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was generated by increased originations and sales of pools of our consumer loans. We expect to continue to sell pools of our consumer loans quarterly as part of our ongoing loan portfolio management.

Service charges on deposit accounts include maintenance fees on accounts, account enhancement charges for additional deposit account features, per item charges and overdraft fees. Service charges on deposits increased 40.4% to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $0.1 million for the same period in 2014. The increase is a direct result of organic deposit growth.

Fee income on loans held for sale increased to $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $0.2 million for the same period in 2014 due to an increase of $133.3 million in originations of consumer loans held for sale.

Other operating income was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2014. Other operating income consists of interchange fees, ATM surcharge income, and loan servicing fees.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense includes salaries and benefits and other costs associated with the Company’s operations. We are committed to managing our costs within the framework of our operating strategy. However, since we are focused on growing both organically and through acquisition, we expect our expenses to continue to increase as we add employees and physical locations to accommodate our growing franchise.

Three months ended June 30, 2015 vs. three months ended June 30, 2014. Total noninterest expense was $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $1.0 million, or 16.6%, from $5.7 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily a result of increased costs associated with the opening of our Highland Road branch in Baton Rouge, Louisiana during the third quarter of 2014 and our organic growth.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 vs. six months ended June 30, 2014. Total noninterest expense was $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $2.0 million, or 17.9%, from $11.1 million for the same period in 2014. This increase was primarily a result of increased costs associated with the opening of our Highland Road branch in Baton Rouge, Louisiana during the third quarter of 2014, our organic growth, including the addition of 11 full time employees, as well as costs related to the Company’s implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.0 million, an increase of $0.5 million from $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 34.4% and 32.5%, respectively.

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $1.9 million, an increase of $1.0 million from $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was 33.7% and 32.5%, respectively.

Risk Management

The primary risks associated with our operations are credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Credit and interest rate risk are discussed below, while liquidity risk is discussed in this section under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources below.

Credit Risk and the Allowance for Loan Losses

General. The risk of loss should a borrower default on a loan is inherent in any lending activity. Our portfolio and related credit risk are monitored and managed on an ongoing basis by our risk management department, the board of directors’ loan committee and the full board of directors. We utilize a ten point risk-rating system, which assigns a risk grade to each borrower based on a number of quantitative and qualitative factors associated with a loan transaction. The risk grade categorizes the loan into one of five risk categories, based on information about the ability of borrowers to service the debt. The information includes, among other factors, current financial information about the borrower, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends. These categories assist management in monitoring our credit quality. The following describes each of the risk categories, which are consistent with the definitions used in guidance promulgated by federal banking regulators:

· Pass (grades 1-6) – Loans not meeting the criteria below are considered pass. These loans have high credit characteristics and financial strength. The borrowers at least generate profits and cash flow that are in line with peer and industry standards and have debt service coverage ratios above loan covenants and our policy guidelines. For some of these loans, a guaranty from a financially capable party mitigates characteristics of the borrower that might otherwise result in a lower grade.

· Special Mention (grade 7) – Loans classified as special mention possess some credit deficiencies that need to be corrected to avoid a greater risk of default in the future. For example, financial ratios relating to the borrower may have deteriorated. Often, a special mention categorization is temporary while certain factors are analyzed or matters addressed before the loan is re-categorized as either pass or substandard.

· Substandard (grade 8) – Loans rated as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or the liquidation value of any collateral. If deficiencies are not addressed, it is likely that this category of loan will result in the Bank incurring a loss. Where a borrower has been unable to adjust to industry or general economic conditions, the borrower’s loan is often categorized as substandard.

· Doubtful (grade 9) – Doubtful loans are substandard loans with one or more additional negative factors that makes full collection of amounts outstanding, either through repayment or liquidation of collateral, highly questionable and improbable.

· Loss (grade 10) – Loans classified as loss have deteriorated to such a point that it is not practicable to defer writing off the loan. For these loans, all efforts to remediate the loan’s negative characteristics have failed and the value of the collateral, if any, has severely deteriorated relative to the amount outstanding. Although some value may be recovered on such a loan, it is not significant in relation to the amount borrowed.

At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no loans classified as doubtful or loss, while there were $5.0 million and $5.6 million of loans classified as substandard at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and $1.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively, of loans classified as special mention as of such dates. Of the $6.1 million in total substandard and special mention loans at June 30, 2015, $2.8 million were acquired in the FCB acquisition and marked to fair value at the time of their acquisition, while $3.7 million of the $6.1 million of total substandard and special mention loans at December 31, 2014 were acquired in the FCB acquisition and marked to fair value.

An external loan review consultant is engaged annually by the risk management department to review approximately 40% of commercial loans, utilizing a risk-based approach designed to maximize the effectiveness of the review. In addition, credit analysts periodically review smaller dollar commercial loans to identify negative financial trends related to any one borrower, any related groups of borrowers or an industry. For collateral dependent loans, new appraisals are obtained on an annual basis. All loans not categorized as Pass are put on an internal watch list, with quarterly reports to the board of directors. In addition, a written status report is maintained by our special assets division for all commercial loans categorized as Substandard or worse. We use this information in connection with our collection efforts.

If our collection efforts are unsuccessful, collateral securing loans may be repossessed and sold or, for loans secured by real estate, foreclosure proceedings initiated. The collateral is sold at public auction for fair market value (based upon recent appraisals), with fees associated with the foreclosure being deducted from the sales price. The purchase price is applied to the outstanding loan balance. If the loan balance is greater than the sales proceeds, the deficient balance is charged-off against the allowance.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb probable losses inherent in the entire loan portfolio. The appropriate level of the allowance is based on an ongoing analysis of the loan portfolio and represents an amount that management deems adequate to provide for inherent losses, including collective impairment as recognized under ASC 450, Contingencies. Collective impairment is calculated based on loans grouped by grade. Another component of the allowance is losses on loans assessed as impaired under ASC 310, Receivables. The balance of these loans and their related allowance is included in management’s estimation and analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Other considerations in establishing

40

the allowance for loan losses include the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, historical loan loss, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect our borrowers’ ability to pay, as well as trends within each of these factors. The allowance for loan losses is established after input from management as well as our risk management department and our special assets committee. We evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance for loan losses was $5.7 million at June 30, 2015, an increase from $4.6 million at December 31, 2014, as we increased our loan loss provisioning to reflect our organic loan growth.

The provision for loan losses is a charge to income in an amount that management believes is necessary to maintain an adequate allowance for loan losses. The provision is based on management’s regular evaluation of current economic conditions in our specific markets as well as regionally and nationally, changes in the character and size of the loan portfolio, underlying collateral values securing loans, and other factors which deserve recognition in estimating loan losses. For both the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the provision for loan losses was $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the provision for loan losses was $1.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The increase over the six-month comparative period is due primarily to the overall growth in our loan portfolio, including our commercial real estate loans.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Generally, those loans rated substandard or special mention are evaluated for impairment each quarter. Determination of impairment is treated the same across all classes of loans. When we identify a loan as impaired, we measure the extent of the impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loans is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases when foreclosure is probable, we use the current fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs, instead of discounted cash flows. For real estate collateral, the fair value of the collateral is based upon a recent appraisal by a qualified and licensed appraiser. If we determine that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), we recognize impairment through an allowance estimate or a charge-off recorded against the allowance for loan losses.

Impaired loans at June 30, 2015 were $3.8 million, including impaired loans acquired in the FCB acquisition in the amount of $1.5 million, and $3.6 million, including impaired loans acquired in the FCB acquisition in the amount of $1.3 million, at December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $0.2 million and $0.1 million of the allowance for loan losses was specifically allocated to impaired loans.

Acquired loans that are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, were marked to market on the date we acquired the loans to values which, in management’s opinion, reflected the estimated future cash flows, based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each respective loan at the date of acquisition. Total loans acquired from FCB had a carrying value of $78.4 million and a fair value of $77.5 million on the acquisition date, and of these loans, $4.9 million were acquired with deteriorated credit quality. At June 30, 2015, the carrying value of these loans was $2.7 million. We continually monitor these loans as part of our normal credit review and monitoring procedures for changes in the estimated future cash flows. Because ASC 310-30 does not permit carry over or recognition of an allowance for loan losses, we may be required to reserve for these loans in the allowance for loan losses through future provision for loan losses if future cash flows deteriorate below initial projections.

The table below presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses by loan category at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands).

As discussed above, the balance in the allowance for loan losses is principally influenced by the provision for loan losses and by net loan loss experience. Additions to the allowance are charged to the provision for loan losses. Losses are charged to the allowance as incurred and recoveries on losses previously charged to the allowance are credited to the allowance at the time recovery is collected. The table below reflects the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands).

The allowance for loan losses to total loans ratio increased to 0.85% at June 30, 2015 compared to 0.69% at June 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans ratio decreased to 213% at June 30, 2015 from 296% at June 30, 2014.

Charge-offs reflect the realization of losses in the portfolio that were recognized previously through the provision for loan losses. Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were $51,000 and $2,000, respectively, equal to 0.01% and 0.00%, respectively, of our average loan balance as of that date. Net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, equal to 0.02% and 0.03%, respectively, of our average loan balance as of that date. The decrease in net charge-offs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 is due to a recovery of $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2015. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the majority of our charge-offs were consumer loans. Net charge-offs of our consumer loans as a percentage of average consumer loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 were 0.05% and 0.09%, respectively, while net charge-offs of our consumer loans as a percentage of average consumer loans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were 0.04% and 0.08%, respectively.

Management believes the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2015 is sufficient to provide adequate protection against losses in our portfolio. Although the allowance for loan losses is considered adequate by management, there can be no assurance that this allowance will prove to be adequate over time to cover ultimate losses in connection with our loans. This allowance may prove to be inadequate due to unanticipated adverse changes in the economy or discrete events adversely affecting specific customers or industries. Our results of operations and financial condition could be materially, adversely affected to the extent that the allowance is insufficient to cover such changes or events.

Nonperforming Assets and Restructured Loans. Nonperforming assets consist of nonperforming loans and other real estate owned. Nonperforming loans are those on which the accrual of interest has stopped or loans which are contractually 90 days past due on which interest continues to accrue. Loans are ordinarily placed on nonaccrual when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or

42

when principal and interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. However, management may elect to continue the accrual when the estimated net available value of collateral is sufficient to cover the principal balance and accrued interest. It is our policy to discontinue the accrual of interest income on any loan for which we have reasonable doubt as to the payment of interest or principal. Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the payment of principal or interest.

Another category of assets which contributes to our credit risk is troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), or restructured loans. A restructured loan is a loan for which a concession has been granted to the borrower for other than an insignificant period of time due to a deterioration of the borrower’s financial condition. Such concessions may include reduction in interest rates, deferral of interest or principal payments, principal forgiveness and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. We strive to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify to more affordable terms before such loans reach nonaccrual status. In evaluating whether to restructure a loan, management analyzes the long-term financial condition of the borrower, including guarantor and collateral support, to determine whether the proposed concessions will increase the likelihood of repayment of principal and interest. Restructured loans that are not performing in accordance with their restructured terms and that are either contractually 90 days past due or placed on nonaccrual status are reported as nonperforming loans.

Loans classified as TDRs, consisting of ten credits, totaled approximately $1.5 million at June 30, 2015 compared to seven credits totaling $0.6 million at December 31, 2014. Nine of the ten TDRs were acquired from FCB and were considered restructured loans due to a modification of terms through adjustments to maturity. One restructured loan was considered a TDR due to a modification of terms through principal payment forbearance, paying interest only for a specified period of time. As of June 30, 2015, two of the restructured loans with a balance of $0.4 million were in default of their modified terms and had been placed on nonaccrual. As of December 31, 2014, one of the restructured loans with a balance of $0.4 million was in default of its modified terms and had been placed on nonaccrual. As of June 30, 2015, there were no loans restructured as TDRs during the previous twelve months that subsequently defaulted during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The following table shows the principal amounts of nonperforming and restructured loans as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Any restructured loans that were subsequently placed on nonaccrual are included in the nonaccrual balances. All loans where information exists about possible credit problems that would cause us to have serious doubts about the borrower’s ability to comply with the current repayment terms of the loan have been reflected in the table below (dollars in thousands).

Interest income recognized on nonperforming and restructured loans		49		105
Interest income foregone on nonperforming and restructured loans		122		169

Of our total nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $1.1 million for both periods were acquired in the FCB acquisition. Nonperforming loans outstanding represented 0.40% of total loans at June 30, 2015. Nonperforming loans other than those acquired through an acquisition and nonperforming acquired loans represented 0.24% and 0.16%, respectively, of total loans at such date. Nonperforming loans outstanding, including acquired loans, represented 0.54% of total loans at December 31, 2014.

Other Real Estate Owned. Other real estate owned consists of properties acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure. These properties are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value based on appraised value less estimated selling costs. Losses arising at the time of foreclosure of properties are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Other real estate owned with a cost basis of $0.1 million and $0.6 million was sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, resulting in a net gain of $7,000 and $6,000, respectively, for the periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, other real estate owned with a cost basis of $0.4 million and $0.5 million was sold resulting in a net loss of $5,000 and $7,000, respectively, for the periods.

At June 30, 2015, $1.0 million of our other real estate owned was related to our acquisition of FCB compared to $1.3 million at December 31, 2014. In connection with our acquisition of FCB, the Bank agreed to share with the former FCB shareholders the proceeds that we receive in connection with the sale of one piece of property, which had a carrying value and a fair market value of $0.6 million as of both June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Under this arrangement, if this property is sold within four years of the closing date of our acquisition of FCB, then we are entitled to retain the first $0.7 million of the sale proceeds plus an amount

43

necessary to cover our selling expenses, with the remaining proceeds, if any, to be paid to former FCB shareholders. After the fourth anniversary of the closing date, which is May 1, 2017, we are entitled to retain all sales proceeds arising upon the sale of this property.

The following table provides details of our other real estate owned as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands).

Interest Rate Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. Since the majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our lending and deposit activities. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact our earnings and profitability because the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent or on the same basis. Accordingly, our ability to proactively structure the volume and mix of our assets and liabilities to address anticipated changes in interest rates, as well as to react quickly to such fluctuations, can significantly impact our financial results. To that end, management actively monitors and manages our interest rate risk exposure.

The Asset Liability Committee has been authorized by the board of directors to implement our asset/liability management policy, which establishes guidelines with respect to our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, liquidity, loan limits as a percentage of funding sources, exposure to correspondent banks and brokers and reliance on non-core deposits. The goal of the policy is to enable us to maximize our interest income and maintain our net interest margin without exposing the Bank to excessive interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Within that framework, the ALCO monitors our interest rate sensitivity and makes decisions relating to our asset/liability composition.

We monitor the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income using gap analysis. The gap represents the net position of our assets and liabilities subject to repricing in specified time periods. During any given time period, if the amount of rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of rate-sensitive assets, a financial institution would generally be considered to have a negative gap position and would benefit from falling rates over that period of time. Conversely, a financial institution with a positive gap position would generally benefit from rising rates.

Within the gap position that management directs, we attempt to structure our assets and liabilities to minimize the risk of either a rising or falling interest rate environment. We manage our gap position for time horizons of one month, two months, three months, 4-6 months, 7-12 months, 13-24 months, 25-36 months, 37-60 months and more than 60 months. The goal of our asset/liability management is for the Bank to maintain a net interest income at risk in an up or down 100 basis point environment at less than (5)%. At June 30, 2015 the Bank was within the policy guidelines.

44

The table below depicts the estimated impact on net interest income of immediate changes in interest rates at the specified levels.

As of June 30, 2015
Changes in Interest Rates (in basis points)	Estimated Increase/Decrease in Net Interest Income (1)
+400		(14.66	)%
+300		(10.85	)%
+200		(6.17	)%
+100		(3.60	)%
-100		1.91	%
-200		(1.34	)%
-300		(5.26	)%

⁽¹⁾ The percentage change in this column represents the projected net interest income for 12 months on a flat balance sheet in a stable interest rate environment versus the projected net interest income in the various rate scenarios.

The computation of the prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes requires numerous assumptions regarding characteristics of new business and the behavior of existing positions. These business assumptions are based upon our experience, business plans and published industry experience. Key assumptions include asset prepayment speeds, competitive factors, the relative price sensitivity of certain assets and liabilities and the expected life of non-maturity deposits. However, there are a number of factors that influence the effect of interest rate fluctuations on us which are difficult to measure and predict. For example, a rapid drop in interest rates might cause our loans to repay at a more rapid pace and certain mortgage-related investments to prepay more quickly than projected. This could mitigate some of the benefits of falling rates as are expected when we are in a negatively-gapped position. Conversely, a rapid rise in rates could give us an opportunity to increase our margins and stifle the rate of repayment on our mortgage-related loans which would increase our returns. As a result, because these assumptions are inherently uncertain, actual results will differ from simulated results.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity. Liquidity is a measure of the ability to fund loan commitments and meet deposit maturities and withdrawals in a timely and cost-effective way. Cash flow requirements can be met by generating net income, attracting new deposits, converting assets to cash or borrowing funds. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit outflows, loan prepayments, loan sales and borrowings are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and the competitive environment in which we operate. To minimize funding risks, we closely monitor our liquidity position through periodic reviews of maturity profiles, yield and rate behaviors, and loan and deposit forecasts. Excess short-term liquidity is usually invested in overnight federal funds sold.

Our core deposits, which are deposits excluding time deposits greater than $250,000 and deposits of municipalities and other political entities, are our most stable source of liquidity to meet our cash flow needs due to the nature of the long-term relationships generally established with our customers. Maintaining the ability to acquire these funds as needed in a variety of markets, and within ALCO compliance targets, is essential to ensuring our liquidity. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 63% and 67% of our total assets, respectively, were funded by core deposits.

Our investment portfolio is another alternative for meeting our cash flow requirements. Investment securities generate cash flow through principal payments and maturities, and they generally have readily available markets that allow for their conversion to cash. Some securities are pledged to secure certain deposit types or short-term borrowings, such as FHLB advances, which impacts their liquidity. At June 30, 2015, securities with a carrying value of $69.6 million were pledged to secure deposits, borrowings, and other liabilities, compared to $63.1 million in pledged securities as of December 31, 2014.

Other sources available for meeting liquidity needs include advances from the FHLB, repurchase agreements and other borrowings. FHLB advances are primarily used to match-fund fixed rate loans in order to minimize interest rate risk and also may be used to meet day to day liquidity needs, particularly if the prevailing interest rate on an FHLB advance compares favorably to the rates that we would be required to pay to attract deposits. At June 30, 2015, the balance of our outstanding advances with the FHLB was $79.1 million, a decrease from $125.8 million at December 31, 2014. The total amount of the remaining credit available to us from the FHLB at June 30, 2015 was $208.6 million. Repurchase agreements are contracts for the sale of securities which we own with a corresponding agreement to repurchase those securities at an agreed upon price and date. Our policies limit the use of repurchase agreements to those collateralized by U.S. Treasury and agency securities. We had $15.1 million of repurchase agreements outstanding as of June 30, 2015, compared to $12.3 million of outstanding repurchase agreements as December 31, 2014. Finally, we

45

maintain lines of credit with other commercial banks totaling $35.0 million. The lines of credit are unsecured, uncommitted lines of credit. The lines of credit mature at various times within the next twelve months.

Our liquidity strategy is focused on using the least costly funds available to us in the context of our balance sheet composition and interest rate risk position. Accordingly, we target growth of noninterest-bearing deposits. Although we cannot directly control the types of deposit instruments our customers choose, we can influence those choices with the interest rates and deposit specials we offer. We do not hold any brokered deposits, as defined for federal regulatory purposes, although we do hold QwikRate^® deposits which we obtain via the internet to address liquidity needs when rates on such deposits compare favorably with deposit rates in our markets. At June 30, 2015, we held $81.9 million of QwikRate^® deposits, an increase from $52.7 million at December 31, 2014.

The following table presents, by type, our funding sources, which consist of total average deposits and borrowed funds, as a percentage of total funds and the total cost of each funding source for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

Capital Management. Our primary sources of capital include retained earnings, capital obtained through acquisitions and proceeds from the sale of our capital stock. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal Reserve and the FDIC which specify capital tiers, including the following classifications:

Capital Tiers	Tier 1 Leverage Ratio	Common Equity Tier 1 Capital Ratio	Tier 1 Capital Ratio	Total Capital Ratio
Well capitalized	5% or above	6.5% or above	8% or above	10% or above
Adequately capitalized	4% or above	4.5% or above	6% or above	8% or above
Undercapitalized	Less than 4%	Less than 4.5%	Less than 6%	Less than 8%
Significantly undercapitalized	Less than 3%	Less than 3%	Less than 4%	Less than 6%
Critically undercapitalized			2% or less

46

The Company and the Bank each were in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Bank also was considered “well-capitalized” under the FDIC’s prompt corrective action regulations as of all of these dates. The following table presents the actual capital amounts and regulatory capital ratios for the Company and the Bank as of the dates presented (dollars in thousands):

(1)      Beginning January 1, 2015, the capital ratios of the Company and Bank are calculated using the Basel III framework. Capital ratios for prior periods were calculated using the Basel I framework. The common equity tier 1 capital ratio is a new ratio introduced under the Basel III framework.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

The Bank entered into forward starting interest rate swap contracts to manage exposure against the variability in the expected future cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in the 1-month LIBOR associated with the forecasted issuances of 1- month fixed rate debt arising from a rollover strategy. The maximum length of time over which the Bank is currently hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is five years. The total notional amount of the derivative contracts is $20.0 million.

The Bank enters into loan commitments and standby letters of credit in the normal course of its business. Loan commitments are made to meet the financing needs of our customers, while standby letters of credit commit the Bank to make payments on behalf of customers when certain specified future events occur. The credit risks associated with loan commitments and standby letters of credit are essentially the same as those involved in making loans to our customers. Accordingly, our normal credit policies apply to these arrangements. Collateral (e.g., securities, receivables, inventory, equipment, etc.) is obtained based on management’s credit assessment of the customer.

47

Loan commitments and standby letters of credit do not necessarily represent future cash requirements, in that while the customer typically has the ability to draw upon these commitments at any time, these commitments often expire without being drawn upon in full or at all. Virtually all of our standby letters of credit expire within one year. Our unfunded loan commitments and standby letters of credit outstanding were as follows at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
Commitments to extend credit:
Loan commitments	$	104,505	$	90,946
Standby letters of credit		473		534

The Company closely monitors the amount of remaining future commitments to borrowers in light of prevailing economic conditions and adjusts these commitments as necessary. The Company will continue this process as new commitments are entered into or existing commitments are renewed.

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and for the year ended December 31, 2014, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Contractual Obligations

⁽¹⁾ Represents shares surrendered to cover the payroll taxes due upon the vesting of restricted stock.

⁽²⁾ On February 19, 2015, the Company announced that its board of directors had authorized the repurchase of up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in open market transactions from time to time or through privately negotiated transactions in accordance with federal securities laws. No such purchases occurred in the second quarter of 2015.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders may be limited on account of the junior subordinated debentures that the Company assumed in connection with its acquisition of First Community Bank, which are senior to shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company must make payments on the junior subordinated debentures before any dividends can be paid on its common stock.

In addition, the Company’s status as a bank holding company affects its ability to pay dividends, in two ways:

· As a holding company with no material business activities, the Company’s ability to pay dividends is substantially dependent upon the ability of Investar Bank to transfer funds to the Company in the form of dividends, loans and advances. Investar Bank’s ability to pay dividends and make other distributions and payments is itself subject to various legal, regulatory and other restrictions.

· As a holding company of a bank, the Company’s payment of dividends must comply with the policies and enforcement powers of the Federal Reserve. Under Federal Reserve policies, in general a bank holding company should pay dividends only when (1) its net income available to shareholders over the last four quarters (net of dividends paid) has been sufficient to fully fund the dividends, (2) the prospective rate of earnings retention appears to be consistent with the capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition of the bank holding company and its subsidiaries and (3) the bank holding company will continue to meet minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios.

Schedule of Aging Analysis of Loans

The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of the dates indicated. The Company determined the specific allowance based on the present values of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the remaining source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In those cases, the current fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling cost, was used to determine the specific allowance recorded (dollars in thousands).

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 8. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure (“ASC 820”), disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, is required. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows, and the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities measured 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 is based upon quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuation is based upon observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

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

Cash and Due from Banks – For these short-term instruments, fair value is the carrying value. Cash and due from banks is classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Federal Funds Sold – The fair value is the carrying value. The Company classifies these assets in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities and Other Equity Securities – Where quoted prices are available in an active market, the Company classifies the securities within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Securities are defined as both long and short positions. Level 1 securities include highly liquid government bonds and exchange-traded equities.

If quoted market prices are not available, the Company estimates fair values using pricing models and discounted cash flows that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, and credit spreads. Examples of such instruments, which would generally be classified within level 2 of the valuation hierarchy, include Government Sponsored Enterprise obligations, corporate bonds and other securities. Mortgage-backed securities are included in level 2 if observable inputs are available. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, the Company classifies those securities in level 3. Equity securities are valued based on market quoted prices and are classified in level 1 as they are actively traded.

Loans – For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (for example, one-to-four family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar instruments sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans (for example, commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates for comparable loans. Fair values for nonperforming loans, which are loans for which the accrual of interest has stopped or loans that are contractually 90 past due on which interest continues to accrue, are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable. The Company classifies loans in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loans held for sale are measured using quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, comparable market values or discounted cash flow analyses may be utilized. The Company classifies these assets in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Real Estate Owned – The fair values are estimated based on recent appraisal values of the property less estimated costs to sell the property, as real estate owned is valued at the lower of cost or fair value of the property, less estimated costs to sell. Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore real estate owned may be classified in level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. When inputs are observable, these assets are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Accrued Interest – The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value and are classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Deposit Liabilities – The fair values disclosed for noninterest-bearing demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). These noninterest-bearing deposits are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amounts of variable-rate (for example interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market accounts), fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates on comparable instruments to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. All interest-bearing deposits are classified in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-Term Borrowings – The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values.  The Company classifies these borrowings in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-Term Borrowings – The fair values of long-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flows analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is therefore classified in level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments – The fair value of commitments to extend credit was not significant.

Derivative Instruments – The fair value for interest rate swap agreements are based upon the amounts required to settle the contracts. These derivative instruments are classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio, caused by interest rate increases, are not credit issues and the Company does not intend to sell the securities. Furthermore, it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases. The Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

The weighted average tax equivalent yield, amortized cost and approximate fair value of debt securities, by contractual maturity (including mortgage-backed securities), are shown below as of the dates presented. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties (dollars in thousands).

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements.

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend money with fixed expiration dates or termination clauses. The Company applies the same credit standards used in the lending process when extending these commitments, and periodically reassesses the customer’s creditworthiness through ongoing credit reviews and collateral is obtained based on the Company’s assessment of the transaction. Since some commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

The table below shows the approximate amounts of the Company’s commitments to extend credit as of the dates presented (dollars in thousands).

Disclosure Of Compensation Related Costs Sharebased Payments [Abstract]

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

NOTE 6. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Equity Incentive Plan. The Company’s 2014 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) authorizes the grant of various types of equity grants and awards, such as restricted stock, stock options and stock appreciation rights to eligible participants, which include all of the Company’s employees and non-employee directors. The Plan has reserved 600,000 shares of common stock for grant, award or issuance to directors and employees, including shares underlying granted options. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, which determines, within the provisions of the Plan, those eligible employees to whom, and the times at which, grants and awards will be made. The Compensation Committee, in its discretion, may delegate its authority and duties under the Plan to specified officers; however, only the Compensation Committee may approve the terms of grants and awards to the Company’s executive officers.  

Stock Options

The Company uses a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards. The Black-Scholes option pricing model incorporates various and highly subjective assumptions, including expected term and expected volatility. Stock option expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 was $43,000 and $74,000, respectively. There was no stock option expense recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

The assumptions presented below were used for the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Expected dividends		0.17	%
Expected volatility		18.48	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.79	%
Expected term (in years)		7.0
Weighted-average grant date fair value	$	3.75

At June 30, 2015, there was $0.8 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 5 years.

The table below summarizes stock option activity for the periods presented.

At June 30, 2015, the shares underlying outstanding stock options and exercisable stock options had aggregate intrinsic values of $0.3 million and $43,000, respectively.

Time Vested Restricted Stock Awards

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company issued shares of time vested restricted stock with vesting terms ranging from two to six years. The total share-based compensation expense to be recognized for these awards is determined based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date applied to the total number of shares awarded and is amortized over the vesting period.

The table below summarizes the time vested restricted stock award activity for the periods presented.

	Six Months Ended

At June 30, 2015, there was $0.9 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to time vested restricted stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.7 years.

On October 1, 2011, the Bank acquired South Louisiana Business Bank (“SLBB”), a full service commercial bank headquartered in Prairieville, Louisiana. On May 1, 2013, the Bank acquired First Community Bank (“FCB”), a full service commercial bank headquartered in Hammond, Louisiana.

Total loans at June 30, 2015 include approximately $41.1 million of loans acquired in the FCB and SLBB acquisitions that were recorded at fair value as of their respective acquisition dates. Included in the acquired loan balances at June 30, 2015 were approximately $0.2 million in loans 30-59 days past due and $1.1 million in nonaccrual loans.

Total loans at December 31, 2014 include approximately $45.0 million of loans acquired in the FCB and SLBB acquisitions that were recorded at fair value as of their respective acquisition dates. Included in the acquired loan balances at December 31, 2014 were approximately $0.3 million in loans 30-59 days past due, $14,000 in loans 60-89 days past due and $1.1 million in nonaccrual loans.

Credit Quality Indicators

Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The following definitions are utilized for risk ratings, which are consistent with the definitions used in supervisory guidance:

Pass – Loans not meeting the criteria below are considered pass. These loans have the highest credit characteristics and financial strength. Borrowers possess characteristics that are highly profitable, with low to negligible leverage and demonstrate significant net worth and liquidity.

Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as recorded assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the assets have absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these assets.

The table below presents the Company’s loan portfolio by category and credit quality indicator as of the dates presented (dollars in thousands).

The Company had no loans that were classified as doubtful or loss as of June 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Loan participations and whole loans sold to and serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of these loans were approximately $339.2 million and $189.6 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes loans to its executive officers, principal stockholders, directors and to companies in which these individuals are principal owners. Loans outstanding to such borrowers (including companies in which they are principal owners) amounted to approximately $24.6 million and $22.8 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. These loans are all current and performing according to the original terms. These loans were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with persons not related to the Company or the Bank and did not involve more than normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features.

The table below shows the aggregate amount of loans to such related parties as of the dates presented (dollars in thousands).

Impaired Loans

The Company considers a loan to be impaired when, based on current information and events, the Company determines that it will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. Generally, those loans rated substandard or special mention are evaluated for impairment each quarter. Determination of impairment is treated the same across all classes of loans. When the Company identifies a loan as impaired, it measures the impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loans is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases when foreclosure is probable, the Company uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, instead of discounted cash flows. If the Company determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), the Company recognizes impairment through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses.

When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual, all payments are applied to principal, under the cost recovery method. When the ultimate collectability of the total principal of an impaired loan is not in doubt and the loan is on nonaccrual, contractual interest is credited to interest income when received, under the cash basis method.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was not committed to lend additional funds to any customer whose loan was classified as impaired.

The following tables include the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable, as of the dates indicated. The Company determined the specific allowance based on the present values of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the remaining source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In those cases, the current fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling cost, was used to determine the specific allowance recorded (dollars in thousands).

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants a concession for other than an insignificant period of time to the borrower that the Company would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The Company strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loans to more affordable terms before such loans reach nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. In cases where the Company grants the borrower new terms that provide for a reduction of either interest or principal, the Company measures any impairment on the restructuring as previously noted for impaired loans.

Loans classified as TDRs, consisting of ten credits, totaled approximately $1.5 million at June 30, 2015 compared to seven credits totaling approximately $0.6 million at December 31, 2014. Nine of the ten TDRs were acquired from FCB. Nine of the ten credits were considered TDRs due to modification of terms through adjustments to maturity and one was considered a TDR due to modification of terms through principal payment forbearance, paying interest only for a specified period of time. Eight of the ten credits are currently performing in accordance with their modified terms. Two TDRs were in default of their modified terms as of the date these financial statements were issued and are included in nonaccrual loans. The Company individually evaluates each TDR for allowance purposes, primarily based on collateral value, and excludes these loans from the loan population that is evaluated by applying qualitative factors.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company was not committed to lend additional funds to any customer whose loan was classified as a TDR.

The table below presents the TDR pre- and post-modification outstanding recorded investments by loan categories for loans modified during the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands).

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

NOTE 7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company currently holds forward starting interest rate swap contracts to manage exposure against the variability in the expected future cash flows (future interest payments) attributable to changes in the 1-month LIBOR associated with the forecasted issuances of 1-month fixed rate debt arising from a rollover strategy. An interest rate swap is an agreement whereby one party agrees to pay a fixed rate of interest on a notional principal amount in exchange for receiving a floating rate of interest on the same notional amount, for a predetermined period of time, from a second party. The amounts relating to the notional principal amount are not actually exchanged. The maximum length of time over which the Company is currently hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions is five years. The total notional amount of the derivative contracts is $20.0 million.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, a gain of $0.1 million and a loss of $0.2 million, respectively, have been recognized in other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the change in fair value of the interest rate swap. The swap contract had a negative fair value of $0.5 million as of June 30, 2015 and has been recorded in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The loss of $0.4 million included in accumulated other comprehensive income would be reclassified to current earnings if the hedge transactions become probable of not occurring. The Company expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swap contracts.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Investar Holding Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, including the notes thereto, which were included as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015.

Nature of Operations

Investar Holding Corporation, headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, provides full banking services, excluding trust services, through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Investar Bank (the “Bank”), a Louisiana-chartered bank. The Company’s primary market is South Louisiana. The Company currently operates 11 full service banking offices located throughout its market and had 176 employees at June 30, 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material. Material estimates that are susceptible to a significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of financial instruments and the determination of other-than-temporary impairments of securities.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 financial statements to be consistent with the 2015 presentation.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s loan portfolio consists of the various types of loans described in Note 4, Loans. Real estate or other assets secure most loans. The majority of loans has been made to individuals and businesses in the Company’s market of South Louisiana. Customers are dependent on the condition of the local economy for their livelihoods and servicing their loan obligations. The Company does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or individual customer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Technical Corrections and Improvements Update No. 2015-10. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Update No. 2015-10 in June 2015 to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). This Update contains amendments that will affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments generally fall into one of the following types of amendments: amendments related to differences between original guidance and the Codification, guidance clarification and reference corrections, simplification, and minor improvements. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” Update No. 2015-07. The FASB issued Update No. 2015-07 in May 2015 to address diversity in practice related to how certain investments measured at net asset value with redemption dates in the future are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

FASB ASC Topic 835-30 “Interest – Imputation of Interest” Update No. 2015-03. The FASB issued Update No. 2015-03 in April 2015 to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2015

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Investar Holding Corporation (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, including the notes thereto, which were included as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 2015.

Nature of Operations

Nature of Operations

Investar Holding Corporation, headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, provides full banking services, excluding trust services, through its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Investar Bank (the “Bank”), a Louisiana-chartered bank. The Company’s primary market is South Louisiana. The Company currently operates 11 full service banking offices located throughout its market and had 176 employees at June 30, 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences could be material. Material estimates that are susceptible to a significant change in the near term are the allowance for loan losses, the fair value of financial instruments and the determination of other-than-temporary impairments of securities.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2014 financial statements to be consistent with the 2015 presentation.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company’s loan portfolio consists of the various types of loans described in Note 4, Loans. Real estate or other assets secure most loans. The majority of loans has been made to individuals and businesses in the Company’s market of South Louisiana. Customers are dependent on the condition of the local economy for their livelihoods and servicing their loan obligations. The Company does not have any significant concentrations in any one industry or individual customer.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

FASB Technical Corrections and Improvements Update No. 2015-10. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Update No. 2015-10 in June 2015 to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”). This Update contains amendments that will affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments generally fall into one of the following types of amendments: amendments related to differences between original guidance and the Codification, guidance clarification and reference corrections, simplification, and minor improvements. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurement” Update No. 2015-07. The FASB issued Update No. 2015-07 in May 2015 to address diversity in practice related to how certain investments measured at net asset value with redemption dates in the future are categorized within the fair value hierarchy. The amendments in this Update remove the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The amendments also remove the requirement to make certain disclosures for all investments that are eligible to be measured at fair value using the net asset value per share practical expedient. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.

FASB ASC Topic 835-30 “Interest – Imputation of Interest” Update No. 2015-03. The FASB issued Update No. 2015-03 in April 2015 to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. For public entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position.
