FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other 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.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate fair value:

Securities: For securities available-for-sale and equity securities, fair value was estimated using a market approach. The majority of the Company’s securities are fixed income instruments that are not quoted on an exchange, but are traded in active markets. Prices for these instruments are obtained through third party data service providers or dealer market participants with which the Company has historically transacted both purchases and sales of securities. Prices obtained from these sources include market quotations and matrix pricing. Matrix pricing, a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820, is a mathematical technique used principally to value certain securities to benchmark or comparable securities. The Company evaluates the quality of Level 2 matrix pricing through comparison to similar assets with greater liquidity and evaluation of projected cash flows. The Company also holds equity securities and debt instruments issued by the U.S. government and U.S. government sponsored agencies that are traded in active markets with readily accessible quoted market prices that are considered Level 1 inputs.

Derivatives: The fair values of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). The Company’s derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include

interest rates, prices and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rates, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Assets Held for Sale: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain non-residential properties classified as assets held for sale are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on contracts / letters of intent.

REO: Nonrecurring adjustments to certain non-residential, construction and land, and residential one-to-four family real estate properties classified as real estate owned (“REO”) are measured at fair value, less costs to sell. Fair values are based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may use a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Adjustments that are based on contracts / letters of intent result in a Level 2 classification.

The following table summarizes the fair value of assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2021:

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2021. The assets held for sale and REO were sold in December 2021, resulting in a net loss of $104 thousand and $6 thousand for assets held for sale and REO, respectively.

In March 2020, certain premises and REO were re-designated to held for sale, which resulted in a write-down from book value to fair value. The impairment recorded on the premises was $12.8 million which resulted in a remaining book value on those assets of $5.3 million that were reclassified from premises to assets held for sale. The impairment recorded on the REO was $1.4 million, which resulted in a remaining book value on those assets of $624 thousand. During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, all assets held for sale and held in REO were sold.

The following tables present the book value, fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments not recorded at fair values in their entirety on a recurring basis on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2021 and 2020. The fair value measurements presented are consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, in which fair value represents exit price. These tables exclude financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value. Financial instruments for which the carrying amount approximates fair value include cash and cash equivalents, restricted stock, non-maturity deposits, overnight borrowings, and accrued interest, which are excluded from the table below.

The carrying amounts and fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value, at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:
