Valley Green Bank
On January 1, 2015, the Corporation completed its acquisition of Valley Green Bank. The merger of Valley Green Bank with and into the Bank was effected pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement dated June 17, 2014. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each share of Valley Green Bank common stock was cancelled and converted into the right to receive 1.3541 shares of Univest common stock, $5 par value, with any fractional share entitled to payment in cash. As a result, the Corporation delivered approximately 3,787,866 shares of the Corporation's common stock to the former shareholders of Valley Green Bank. Valley Green Bank outstanding stock options of 122,377 were exchanged for cash and related payroll taxes of $2.2 million. Approximately $3 thousand in cash was paid for fractional shares.
The transaction is being accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires the Corporation to allocate the total consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on their respective fair values at the merger date, with remaining excess consideration recorded as goodwill. The fair value estimates are subject to adjustment if additional information becomes available. Such adjustments, may change the amount of the purchase price allocation to goodwill while changes to other assets and liabilities may impact the statement of income due to adjustments in the yield and/or amortization/accretion of the adjusted assets and liabilities.
The following table summarizes the consideration paid for Valley Green Bank and the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date:

(1) - Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for federal income tax purposes. The goodwill is allocated to the Banking business segment.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair values of major categories of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In many cases, determining the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Corporation to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest, which required the utilization of significant estimates and judgment in accounting for the acquisition.
Cash and due from banks and federal funds sold: The estimated fair values of cash and due from banks and federal fund sold approximated their stated value.
Investment securities available-for-sale: The estimated fair values of the investment securities available for sale, comprised of U.S. government and agencies, were determined using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The fair values were determined using independent pricing services and market-participating brokers. The Corporation’s independent pricing service utilized evaluated pricing models that vary by asset class and incorporate available trade, bid and other market information for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, the pricing service’s evaluated pricing applications apply information as applicable through processes, such as benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, and matrix pricing, to prepare evaluations. Management reviewed the data and assumptions used in pricing the securities.
Loans held for investment: The most significant fair value determination related to the valuation of acquired loans. The acquisition resulted in loans acquired with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration. There was no carryover related allowance for loan and lease losses.
The acquired loan portfolio was valued based on current guidance which defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Level 3 inputs were utilized to value the portfolio and included the use of present value techniques employing cash flow estimates and the incorporated assumptions that marketplace participants would use in estimating fair values. In instances where reliable market information was not available, the Corporation used its own assumptions in an effort to determine reasonable fair value. Specifically, management utilized three separate fair value analyses which a market participant would employ in estimating the total fair value adjustment. The three separate fair valuation methodologies used were: 1) interest rate loan fair value analysis; 2) general credit fair value adjustment; and 3) specific credit fair value adjustment.
For loans acquired without evidence of credit quality deterioration, the Corporation prepared the interest rate fair value analysis. Loans were grouped by characteristics such as loan type, term, collateral and rate. Market rates for similar loans were obtained from various external data sources and reviewed by management for reasonableness. The average of these rates was used as the fair value interest rate a market participant would utilize. A present value approach was utilized to calculate the interest rate fair value adjustment. Additionally a general credit fair value adjustment was calculated using a two part general credit fair value analysis: 1) expected lifetime losses; and 2) estimated fair value adjustment for qualitative factors. The expected lifetime losses were calculated using an average of historical losses of the Bank, Valley Green Bank and peer banks. The adjustment related to qualitative factors was impacted by general economic conditions and the risk related to lack of specific familiarity with Valley Green Bank's underwriting process. Valley Green's loan portfolio without evidence of credit quality deterioration was recorded at a current fair value of $381.5 million. A fair value premium of $4.3 million was recognized to reflect the fair values of loans. A fair value discount of $5.8 million was recognized to reflect the general credit risk of the loan portfolio. The adjustment will be substantially recognized as interest income over approximately 10 years on a level yield basis amortization method based upon the expected life of the loans.
For loans acquired with evidence of credit quality deterioration the Corporation prepared a specific credit fair value adjustment. Management reviewed the acquired loan portfolio for loans meeting the definition of an impaired loan with deteriorated credit quality. Loans meeting this definition were reviewed by comparing the contractual cash flows to expected collectible cash flows. The aggregate expected cash flows less the acquisition date fair value results in an accretable yield amount. The accretable yield amount will be recognized over the life of the loans on a level yield basis as an adjustment to yield.
At the acquisition date, the Corporation recorded $1.4 million of acquired impaired loans subject to a nonaccretable discount difference of $2.8 million. The aggregate expected cash flows less the acquisition date fair value results in an accretable yield amount of $291 thousand, which will be recognized over the life of the loans on a level yield basis as an adjustment to yield.
The following is a summary of the acquired impaired loans at January 1, 2015 resulting from the merger with Valley Green:

Bank premises - leased: The Corporation assumed five facility lease contracts and no owned properties. The fair value of the lease contracts represents the present value of the pre-tax differential between the expected contractual payments and current market rate lease payments to the first lease termination date discounted by an assumed required rate of return.
Core deposit intangible: Core deposit intangible represents the value assigned to demand, interest checking, money market and savings accounts acquired as part of an acquisition. The core deposit intangible fair value represents the future economic benefit, including the present value of future tax benefits, of the potential cost savings from acquiring core deposits as part of an acquisition compared to the cost alternative funding sources and was valued utilizing Level 3 inputs. The core deposit intangible of $1.9 million will be amortized over an estimated life of 10 years.
Deposits: The fair values of demand and saving deposits, with no stated maturities, approximated the carrying value as these accounts are payable on demand. The fair values of time deposits with fixed maturities were estimated by discounting the final maturity using current market interest rate for similar instruments. A fair value premium of $686 thousand was recognized and will be recognized as a reduction to interest expense using a level yield method over the life of the time deposit. The fair value of time deposits were determined using Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities: Deferred tax assets and liabilities were established for purchase accounting fair value adjustments as the future amortization/accretion of these adjustments represent temporary differences between book income and taxable income.
Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Corporation incurred $1.2 million of Valley Green Bank acquisition-related expenses, which have been separately stated in the Corporation's consolidated statements of income.
