Note

Fair Value Measurement

The Company uses a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company

’s market assumptions. The

three

levels of the fair value hierarchy based on these

two

types of inputs are as follows:

Level

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

Level

- Valuation is based on observable inputs including quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in less active markets, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions can be derived prim

arily from or corroborated by observable data in the market.

Level

- Valuation is based on model-based techniques that use

one

or more significant inputs or assumptions that are unobservable in the market.

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

Securities available for sale:

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level

1).

If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and

may

determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level

2).

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

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

Impaired Loans:

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time a loan is considered impaired and a specific reserve is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures the extent of any loss. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using

one

of several methods, including collateral value, market value, and discounted cash flow. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investment in such loans. Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. If carried at market price based on appraised value less selling costs using observable market data, it is recorded as nonrecurring Level

When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraisal value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level

Loans held for sale:

The carrying value of these loans approximates the fair value. These loans close in the name of the Bank’s consolidated joint venture subsidiary HomeTown Residential Mortgage, LLC, but are generally sold within a

two

-week period.

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)

: The carrying amount of real estate owned by the Company resulting from foreclosures is estimated at the lesser of cost or the fair value of the real estate based on an observable market price or a current appraised value less selling costs. If carried at market price based on appraised value using observable market data, it is recorded as nonrecurring Level

When an appraised value is not available or is not current, or management determines the fair value of the real estate is further impaired below the appraised value or there is no observable market price, the Company records the real estate as nonrecurring Level

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

Cash and due from banks: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheet for cash on hand and amounts due from correspondent banks approximate their fair values.

The fair values for certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of contractual maturities on such time deposits.

Federal funds sold: Federal funds sold consist of overnight loans to other financial institutions and mature within

one

three

days.

March

31,

2017

and

December

31,

2016,

management believes the carrying value of federal funds sold approximates estimated market value.

Securities available for sale:

Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted market prices, when available (Level

1).

may

determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level

2).

Restricted equity securities:

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

Loans held for sale: The carrying value of these loans approximates the fair value.

These loans close in the name of the Bank’s joint venture subsidiary HomeTown Residential Mortgage, LLC, but are generally sold within a

two

-week period.

Loans receivable:

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

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

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

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

Subordinated notes:

The fair values is measured utilizing independent valuation techniques of identical or similar securities for which significant assumptions are derived primarily from or corroborated by observable market data. Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and

may

determine the fair value of identical or similar securities by using pricing models that consider observable market data (Level

2).

Other borrowings:

The warehouse line of credit is a short term revolving credit facility used to fund mortgage loans originations until the underlying loan is sold

. The warehouse line of credit, federal funds purchased, borrowings under repurchase agreements mature within

days and approximate their fair values.

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

Off-balance sheet financial instruments:

The fair values of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. At

March

31,

2017

and

December

31,

2016,

the fair value of loan commitments and standby letters of credit were deemed to be immaterial.
