9. SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

Short-term borrowings consist of federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements

and short-term Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. Short-term borrowings totaled $5.4 million and $7.4 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Federal funds purchased, which represent unsecured lines of credit that generally mature within one to four days, are available to the Company through arrangements with correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve. As of both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were no federal funds purchased outstanding, and the Company had $18.8 million in available unused lines of credit with correspondent banks and the Federal Reserve.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements, which are secured borrowings, generally are reflected at the amount of cash received in

connection with the transaction. The Company may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of the underlying securities. The Company monitors the fair value of the underlying securities on a daily basis. Securities sold under repurchase agreements as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Short-term FHLB advances are secured borrowings available to the Company as an alternative funding source.

The Company had $5.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances with a maturity date of less than six months as of September 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had $7.0 million in outstanding FHLB advances with a maturity date of less than six months.
