Note 26: Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Fair value 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. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying comparative balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

Available for Sale Securities

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company uses a third-party provider to provide market prices on its securities. Pooled trust preferred securities prices are evaluated by a third party. Level 1 securities include marketable equity securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations, small business administration, municipal, federal agency and certain corporate obligation securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain corporate obligation securities.

Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar investment securities (Level 2). Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on investment securities relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. Any investment security not valued based upon the methods above are considered Level 3.

Interest Rate Derivative Agreements

Interest rate swap positions, both assets and liabilities, are valued by a third-party pricing agent using an income approach and utilizing models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. This valuation process considers various factors including interest rate yield curves, time value and volatility factors.

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

From time to time, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically are a result of the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.

The following tables present quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements.


December 31, 2019	Fair Value		Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Range
Trust Preferred Securities	$	2,198	Discounted cash flow	Discount rate	6.3	%
				Constant prepayment rate	2.0	%
				Cumulative projected prepayments	40.0	%
				Probability of default	1.6	%

				Loss severity	26.5	%
Impaired loans (collateral dependent)	$	460	Third party valuations	Discount to reflect realizable value less estimated selling costs	7.2-34.9	%
