A.   Basis of Presentation:

Peoples, Inc. (the “Holding Company”) has a national chartered and a state chartered commercial bank.  Peoples Bank and Peoples National Bank (the “Banks”) generate commercial, mortgage and consumer loans and receive deposits from customers located primarily at its facilities in Colorado Springs, Fountain, Leadville, Monument and Woodland Park, Colorado, Lawrence, Louisburg, Ottawa, Overland Park, Stanley and Stillwell, Kansas, and Albuquerque, Red River and Taos, New Mexico and the surrounding areas.  The Banks operate under either a national or a state bank charter and provide full banking services.  The Holding Company and its Banks are subject to regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Kansas State Banking Department, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Reserve Bank.  The Banks have mortgage operations in Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey (Peoples Bank Home Loans, LLC), New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Utah.

The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements serve to update the Peoples, Inc. Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2016 and include the accounts of the Holding Company, the Banks, and their wholly owned subsidiary Interbank 1, LLC.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and where applicable, with general practices in the banking industry or guidelines prescribed by bank regulatory agencies.  However, they may not include all information and notes necessary to constitute a complete set of financial statements under GAAP applicable to annual periods and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the financial information contained in the Company’s most recent Annual Report.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The results of operations for the interim period is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any other interim period.

The preparation of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.  In connection with the determination of the estimated losses on loans, management obtains independent appraisals for significant collateral.

The Banks’ loans are generally secured by specific items of collateral including real property, consumer assets and business assets.  Although the Banks have a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion of its debtors’ ability to honor their contacts is dependent on local economic conditions.

While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, further reductions in the carrying amounts of loans may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions.  In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the estimated losses on loans.  Such agencies may require the Banks to recognize additional losses based on their judgments about information available to them at the time for the examination.  Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the estimated losses on loans may change materially in the near term.  However, the amount of the change that is reasonably possible cannot be estimated.

Other material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the near term relate to the valuation of mortgage loans held for sale, foreclosed assets, mortgage servicing rights and the fair market value of financial instruments.

The Holding Company’s significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note A of the audited financial statements and notes for the year ended December 31,

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluations.  Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Banks to retain their investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2017 were caused by changes in interest rates.  The portfolio includes 86 securities, having an aggregate fair value of $88.8 million, which were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2017.

The unrealized losses in the Company’s investment portfolio at September 30, 2016 were caused by changes in interest rates.  The portfolio includes 32 securities, having an aggregate fair value of $38.8 million, which were in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2016.

The Company has no intention to sell these securities before recovery of their amortized cost and believes it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of their amortized cost.

The Banks categorize loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as:  current financial information, historical payment experience, collateral adequacy, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Banks analyzes loans, on a monthly basis, individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  This analysis typically includes larger, non-homogeneous loans such as commercial and residential real estate and commercial, agricultural and consumer loans.  This analysis is performed on an ongoing basis as new information is obtained.

The Banks uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass - Loans classified as pass represent loans that are evaluated and are performing under the stated terms.  Pass rated assets are analyzed by the paying capacity, the current net worth, and the value of the loan collateral of the obligor.

Watch - Loans classified as watch possess potential weaknesses that require management attention, but do not yet warrant adverse classification.  While the status of a loan put on this list may not technically trigger their classification as Substandard or Doubtful, it is considered a proactive way to identify potential issues and address them before the situation deteriorates further and does result in a loss for the Banks.

The Banks uses the following definitions for risk ratings (continued):

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged.  Substandard loans must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt as originally contracted.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Banks will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.   Loans in this category maybe allocated a specific reserve based on the estimated discounted cash flows from the loan (or collateral value less cost to sell for collateral dependent loans) or maybe charged off if deemed uncollectible.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of those classified as Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis for currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.  Loans in this category are allocated a specific reserve based on the estimated discounted cash flows from the loan (or collateral value less cost to sell for collateral dependent loans) or are charged off if deemed uncollectible.

Based on the most recent analysis performed the risk category of loans by class of loans was as follows as of September 30, 2017:

	Pass		Watch		Substandard		Doubtful		Total

Loans with a balance of none and $72,369 at September 30,  2017 and 2016, respectively were added as troubled debt restructuring.  The allowance for loan losses associated with these loans was none at September 30,  2017 and 2016 and none at the time of the pre-modification. 

The Banks have no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructuring.

The Banks periodically enter into transactions with certain directors and executive officers.  Such transactions are made in the ordinary course of business on substantially the same terms and conditions, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the same time for comparable transactions with other customers, and do not, in the opinion of management, involve more than normal credit risk or present other unfavorable features. There was approximately $24,000 and $98,000 of such loans to related parties at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

D.   Mortgage Servicing Rights:

The mortgage servicing rights (“MSR’s”) consist of servicing of residential mortgage loans originated and sold with the servicing retained.  The amortization method is applied to residential MSR’s.  The changes in amortized MSR’s were as follows:

Residential MSR’s are evaluated for impairment purposes by the following risk strata:  mortgages sold to GSEs (FHLMC, FNMA and GNMA), each by interest rate stratifications.  The valuation allowance was $102,000 and $1,092,112 at September  30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The components of the managed servicing portfolio is as follows:

	SEPTEMBER 30,
	2017		2016
Unpaid principal balance of residential mortgage serviced for others	$	479,878,000	$	1,154,598,000

The fair values of these rights were $4,425,394 and $9,874,604, respectively, at September 30, 2017 and 2016.  The fair value of servicing rights was determined using discount rates ranging from 9.5% to 10.5%, prepayment speeds ranging from a constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) of 9.6 to 14.0, depending on the stratification of the specific right, and anticipated credit losses.

The components of mortgage servicing right noninterest income is as follows:

	NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,

The Banks held related party deposits of approximately $4,493,000 and $2,856,000 at September  30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

F.    Borrowings:

In November 2015, Peoples, Inc. entered into a credit agreement with another institution (the “note”) that allows for the Holding Company during the first six months of the term to take loans at any time and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount up to the maximum loan commitment of $6,000,000.  After the initial six months of the term, through April 2016, the note amortizes with quarterly payments of $194,144, including interest through April 2026.  The note bears interest at a variable rate (5.214% at September 30, 2017).  The note has an outstanding balance of $5,366,692 and $5,860,948 at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  This loan is collateralized by the issued stock of Peoples Bank and Peoples National Bank.

At September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Banks have delivered loans with an outstanding balance of approximately $214,176,000 and $293,503,000 to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka.  The total lending balance from this collateral was approximately $147,479,000 and $241,221,000 with total credit outstanding in the amount of $55,243,400 and $123,872,400 as of September  30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The advances accrue interest at a variable rate (1.28% at September 30, 2017) and are due on demand.  The credit line is used primarily to fund the Banks’ mortgage production operations.

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

Advances on the line are taken as needed to fund closings and payments made by investors directly against this line on loans that are held as collateral.  In addition to the loans delivered, the credit is also collateralized with a blanket security agreement against all the Banks’ assets.  To participate in the lending programs, the Banks are required to maintain a certain level of stock with the Federal Home Loan Bank.

The Banks have $18,289,000 and $18,531,000 at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, of secured and unsecured lines of credit with other institutions.  No funds were drawn on these lines at September 30, 2017 and 2016.

G.    Junior Subordinated Debt:

In February 2001, Peoples, Inc. established a special purpose trust for the purposes of issuing trust preferred securities.  The proceeds from such issuance, together with the proceeds of the related issuance of common securities of the trust, were invested in junior subordinated debentures (“debentures”) of the Holding Company.  Concurrent with the issuance of the preferred securities by the trust, the trust issued guarantees for the benefit of the security holders.  These trust preferred securities provide the Holding Company with a more cost-effective means of obtaining Tier I capital for regulatory purposes than if the Holding Company itself were to issue preferred stock because the Holding Company is allowed to deduct, for income tax purposes, distribution to the holders of the trust preferred securities.

The sole assets of the trust are the debentures.  All of the common securities of the trust are owned by the Holding Company.  The common securities are reported as an investment in Other Assets.  The preferred securities issued by the trust rank senior to the common securities.  The obligations of Peoples (CO) Statutory Trust I (“Trust I”) under the debenture, the indentures, the relevant trust agreements and the guarantees, in the aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional guarantee by the trust of the obligations of the trust under the trust preferred securities and rank subordinate and junior in right of payment to all their other liabilities.  The Holding Company guarantees the obligations of Trust I.

The junior subordinated debentures bear interest at 10.2% and are due in February 2031 and may be called beginning in February 2011 at a premium as defined in the debentures.  In 2017 and 2016, the Holding Company made a principal reduction on the debentures in the amount of $4,041,000 and $6,300,000, respectively.  The Holding Company paid the remaining principal balance of $4,041,000 in February 2017.

H.   Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk:

In the normal course of business, the Banks have outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities, such as commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The Banks’ exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amounts of those instruments.  The Banks use the same credit policies in making such commitments as they do for instruments that are included in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Financial instruments with contract amounts representing credit risk are as follows:

		2017		2016
Commitments to extend credit	$	129,135,000	$	91,159,000
Standby letters of credit		1,577,000		2,037,000

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Banks evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis and use the same underwriting standards they use in issuing other credit to

23

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

borrowers.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Banks, upon extension of credit is based on management’s credit evaluation.  Collateral held varies by customer but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

Unfunded commitments under revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers.  These lines-of-credit are uncollateralized and usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Banks are committed.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Banks to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  The Banks’ policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.

The Banks have not been required to perform on any financial guarantees during the past two years. The Banks have not incurred any losses on its commitments during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 or 2016.

In the normal course of business, the Banks enter into commitments to purchase and make residential mortgage loans.  The commitments are short-term in nature and, if drawn on by the customer, result in a fixed or variable rate loan collateralized by residential real estate.  The Banks have committed to lend at a stipulated interest rate and assume the risk of a subsequent rise in rates prior to the loan funding.  Total commitments approximate $194,228,000 and $277,799,000 at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The Banks offset their interest rate exposure on such commitments and on mortgage loans held for sale by entering into derivative instruments such as forward loans sale commitments and mandatory delivery commitments, including TBA mortgage securities.

The Banks sell residential mortgage loans to the secondary market in connection with their mortgage banking business.  These loans are sold with a minimal recourse period.  All residential mortgage loans are subject to the same credit policies and off-balance sheet loans with recourse have the same credit risk as on-balance sheet loans. If a borrower defaults on a loan during the recourse period, it is sold back to the Banks to initiate normal collection efforts.  In determining the credit risk, the Banks consider their past history with regards to recourse charges, the current market conditions and the effects of current economic conditions.  Loans sold with recourse were approximately $1,469,201,000 and $1,773,986,000 at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, represent off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business.  At September 30, 2017 and 2016, a liability for credit losses amounting to $3,858,000 and $3,601,000, respectively, applicable to loans sold with recourse, is included in other liabilities.

I.    Commitments and Contingencies:

The Banks sold the land and building related to five of its branches in 2007 and agreed to lease back the entire space resulting in a sale-leaseback transaction.  The Banks did not provide financing for the buyer and did not retain any ownership rights in the property sold.  The Banks leased the properties back for an initial period of 15 years after the sale and is responsible for all operating expenses.  In addition, the Banks have four, five-year renewal options on the properties after the initial term of the lease at market rates at the time of the renewals.

The Banks sold the properties at a net sales price of $11,405,000 resulting in a gain of $3,307,000.  However, in accordance with accounting standards, the present value of the minimum lease payments of $3,072,000 was deferred and is being amortized over the life of the leases.  Total amortization recognized was $130,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

In November 2017, the Federal Reserve Board (“Fed”) issued a Consent Order against Peoples Bank (“Peoples”) that determined that Peoples’ national mortgage business engaged in deceptive residential mortgage origination practices in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. The Fed found that Peoples told certain borrowers that they

24

PEOPLES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

were paying an additional amount for discount points that would lower the borrowers’ interest rate.  The Fed also found that many borrowers who paid points did not receive a reduced interest rate or received a rate that was not reduced enough.

Under the terms of the Consent Order, Peoples will be required to refund all payments for discount points that did not reduce borrowers’ interest rates.  The total estimated amount to be refunded to borrowers is approximately $2,392,000.  This amount was accrued in consolidated financial statement at the time it became reasonably determinable.

The deceptive practices at issue were centered within Peoples’ national mortgage business, which has been wound down and all operations have ceased as of December 31, 2017.  

The Banks are subject to claims and lawsuits which arise primarily in the ordinary course of business.  It is the opinion of management that the disposition or ultimate resolution of such claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Banks.

J.    Common Stock:

The common stock of the Holding Company has a $1 par value.  There are 500,000 shares authorized, with 165,163 and 164,995 shares issued and outstanding at September  30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

K.   Restriction on Dividends:

The Holding Company and Banks are subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that may be paid without regulatory approval.  The Holding Company and Banks normally restricts dividends to a lesser amount.

L.   Treasury Stock:

There are 72,241 and 72,211 shares of treasury stock held by the Holding Company at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The treasury stock is recorded at cost.

M.  Regulatory Matters:

In July 2013, the federal banking agencies published final rules (the “Basel III Capital Rules”) that revised their risk-based and leverage capital requirements and their method for calculating risk-weighted assets to implement, in part, agreements reached by the Basel Committee and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act.  The Basel III Capital Rules apply to banking organizations, including the Holding Company and the Banks.

In connection with the effectiveness of Basel III, most banks are required to decide whether to elect to opt-out of the inclusion of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) in their Common Equity Tier 1 Capital.  This is a one-time election and generally irrevocable.  If elected to opt-out, most AOCI items will be treated, for regulatory capital purposes, in the same manner in which they were prior to Basel III.  The Banks have elected to opt-out of the inclusion.

Among other things, the Basel III Capital Rules:  (I) introduce a new capital measure entitled “Common Equity Tier 1” (“CET1”); (II) specify that tier 1 capital consist of CET1 and additional financial instruments satisfying specified requirements that permit inclusion in tier 1 capital; (III) define CET1 narrowly by requiring that most deductions or adjustments to regulatory capital measures be made to CET1 and not to the other components of capital; and (iv) expand the scope of the deductions or adjustments from capital as compared to the existing regulations.

A minimum leverage ratio (tier 1 capital as a percentage of total assets) of 4.0% is also required under the Basel III Capital Rules (even for highly rated institutions).  The Basel III Capital Rules additionally require institutions to retain a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above these required minimum capital ratio levels.  Banking organizations that fail to maintain

25

PEOPLES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

the minimum 2.5% capital conservation buffer could face restrictions on capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.

The Basel III Capital Rules became effective as applied to the Company and the Banks on January 1, 2015, with a phase in period that generally extends from January 1, 2015 through January 1, 2019.

The Holding Company, on a consolidated basis, and Banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by their primary Federal regulator, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Kansas State Banking Commission.  Failure to meet the minimum regulatory capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Holding Company’s and Banks’ financial statements.  Under the regulatory capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Holding Company and the Banks must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The capital amount and classification subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.  Prompt corrective action provisions are not applicable to the Holding Company.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of Common Equity Tier 1 Capital (“CET1”), Tier 1 Capital, Total Capital and leverage ratio Tier 1 Capital.  As of January 1, 2015 the requirements are:

4.5% based upon CET1

6.0% based upon tier 1 capital

8.0% based on total regulatory capital

4.0% based on leverage ratio of Tier 1 Capital assets

As of September 30, 2017 and 2016, management believes the Holding Company and the Banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.  As of September 30, 2017, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency categorized the Banks as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Banks’ category.

N.     Fair Value of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale:

Accounting standards provide a fair value option election that allows companies to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur.  Accounting standards permit the fair value option election on an instrument by instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument.  The Banks elected to apply the fair value option to mortgage loans held for sale originated for which an active secondary market and readily available market prices exist to reliably support fair value.  Loan origination fees on these loans are recorded when earned, and related direct loan origination costs when incurred.  Measuring these assets at fair value allows for a better matching of the earnings and cost processes on mortgage loans held for sale.  It also allows the Banks to carry these loans at fair value, which is more consistent with management’s view of the underlying economics and the manner in which they are managed.

Accounting standards define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand the disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Banks follow accounting standards in determination of the fair value disclosure amounts.  The Banks measure the mortgage loans held for sales at the fair value determined from committed sales price to investors and on current market values of similar assets.  Interest income is recognized in the  Consolidated Statements of Income as earned based on the term of the notes.

The aggregate fair value carrying amount of mortgage loans held for sale is $160,245,383 and $288,531,285 and the aggregate unpaid principal amount is $154,336,208 and $276,293,097 as of September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The difference between the fair value carrying amount and the aggregate unpaid principal includes changes in fair value recorded at and subsequent to funding and premiums on acquired loans of $5,909,175 at and $12,238,188 at September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  The mortgage loans held for sale are initially measured at fair value.  Gains and losses from initial measurement and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in the gain on sale of mortgage loans in the consolidated statements of income.  None of the mortgage loans held for sale are 90 days or more past due.

O.     Derivatives:

The Banks utilize forward loan sales commitments derivatives against the change in fair value of the loans held for sale portfolio and interest rate locks commitment derivatives due to interest rate changes.

Stand-alone derivative financial instruments such as forward loan sale commitments, are used to economically hedge interest rate risk related to interest rate loan commitments measured at fair value.  These derivative instruments involve both credit and market risk.  The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments, and the value of the derivative are based.  Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures.  Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any.  Such difference, which represents the fair value of the derivative instruments, is reflected on the Banks’ consolidated balance sheets as either derivative assets or derivative liabilities for stand-alone financial instruments, which is included in other assets or other liabilities.

The following table summarizes the derivative financial instruments utilized:

				Estimated
		Notional		Fair Value
	Balance Sheet Location	Amount		Gain		Loss
September 30, 2017:
Interest rate lock and loan commitments	Other assets	$	202,450,000	$	784,683	$	—
Forward contract	Other assets and liabilities	$	176,000,000	$	63,125	$	[193,428]
September 30, 2016:
Interest rate lock and loan commitments	Other assets	$	277,799,000	$	2,931,038	$	—
Forward contract	Other liabilities	$	292,000,000	$	—	$	[1,521,208]

The Banks, as part of their mortgage lending activities, originate fixed rate 1-4 unit residential loans for sale in the secondary market.  At the time of origination, management identifies loans that are expected to be sold in the near future.  These warehoused loans have been classified as mortgage loans held for sale, in the consolidated balance sheets and are carried at fair value.  These loans expose the Banks to variability in their fair value due to changes in interest rates.  If interest rates increase, the value of the loans decreases.  Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of the loans increases.  The fair value of the loans for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics.

Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a major portion of the change in fair value of its mortgage loans held for sale.  It is the Banks’ objective to hedge primarily all of its warehoused loans held for sale to third parties.

To meet this objective, management employs forward loan sale hedging strategies to minimize the interest rate and pricing risks associated with the origination and sale of such warehoused loans.

The forward loan sales lock is the price for the sale of either the specific mortgage loans classified as held-for-sale or for a generic group of loans similar to the specific mortgage loans classified as held-for-sale.

The amount of gain or [loss] recognized in income on the interest rate lock and loan commitments was approximately $13,708,000 and $30,148,000 and for the forward contract was approximately [$703,000] and [$11,759,000] for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The gain or [loss] from the derivative contracts is reported in gain on sale of mortgage loans in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.

P.     Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Banks use fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. 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.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Banks’ various financial instruments.  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

29

PEOPLES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fair value accounting guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  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 the 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.

Trading assets, securities available for sale, mortgage loans held for sale and derivative assets and derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  Additionally, from time to time, the Banks may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for investment, foreclosed assets, and certain other assets.  These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve the application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

Accounting standards provide a fair value option election that allows companies to irrevocably elect fair value as the initial and subsequent measurement attribute for certain financial assets and liabilities, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings as they occur.  Accounting standards permit the fair value option election on an instrument by instrument basis at initial recognition of an asset or liability or upon an event that gives rise to a new basis of accounting for that instrument.  The Banks elected to apply the fair value option to its mortgage loans held for sale.

Accounting standards define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand the disclosures about fair value measurements.  The Banks follow accounting standards in determination of the fair value disclosure amounts.

Under accounting standards, the Banks group its assets and liabilities at fair values 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.  In general, fair value determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Banks have the ability to access.  Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rate and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.  In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the hierarchy.  In such cases, the fair value of the asset or liability is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following is a description for the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value disclosures:

1.      Trading assets:

Fair values for trading assets are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  The fair value of the interest-bearing-deposits in the account is their carrying amount since the majority of these instruments are payable on demand and do not present credit concerns.  The fair value of the underlying municipals are based on pricing models (level 2).

2.      Investment securities:

Fair values for investment securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis.  The fair values of government agency mortgage backed securities are based on pricing models (level 2).

PEOPLES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2017 AND 2016

3.      Mortgage loans held for sale:

The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined, on a recurring basis, based on the expected proceeds based on sales contracts and commitments and current market values of similar assets and which are considered level 2 inputs.

4.      Residential real estate loans:

Certain mortgage loans held for sale, in which the fair value option was elected, were unable to be sold into the secondary market.  These loans are held in the Bank’s portfolio and continue to be reported at fair value.  The fair value of these residential real estate loans is determined, on a recurring basis, based on secondary market price on similar assets and is considered Level 2 inputs.

5.      Interest Rate Locks, Loan Commitments and Forward Contracts:

Fair value for derivative interest rate locks and loan commitments and forward contracts are based on fair values of the underlying mortgage loans and the probability of such commitments being exercised which are considered level 2 inputs.  Significant management judgment and estimation is required in determining these fair value measurements.

6.      Impaired loans:

The fair value of impaired loans is determined based on current market information, including independent appraisals minus estimated costs of disposition of underlying collateral and discount cash flow modeling.

7.      Foreclosed assets are reported at the lower of the investment in the related loan or the estimated fair value of the assets received.  Fair value of the assets received is determined based on current market information, including independent appraisals minus estimated costs of disposition.  Independent appraisals are considered Level 2 inputs.

8.      Mortgage Servicing Rights:

MSR’s are reported at the lower of amortized cost or the estimated fair value of the underlying servicing right.  MSR’s are periodically evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those assets.  For purposes of impairment evaluation and measurement, the MSR’s are stratified based on the predominant risk characteristics of the underlying loans, including investor and product type (level 2).

The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgement is necessarily required in interpreting market data to develop the estimated fair value, and accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Banks could realize in a current market exchange.

Q.     Merger:

The Holding Company entered into a merger agreement with National Bank Holdings Corporation (“NBH”) in June 2017.  As part of the agreement, Peoples has wound down its national mortgage business, operated out of its Kansas based Peoples Bank.  The national mortgage business was operated separate and apart from the Peoples Bank community banking operations, and will not be operated by NBH.  Peoples shareholders have agreed to indemnify NBH for all liabilities associated with the national mortgage business, including with respect to the restitution required by the consent order entered into by Peoples Bank and the Federal Reserve Board on November 28, 2017.  NBH is not a party to this consent order.

NBH has received regulatory approvals from the Federal Reserve Board and the State of Colorado Division of Banking for the merger.  The merger is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to close in early January 2018.

R.     Other Comprehensive Income:

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.  Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.
