FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s 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 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. ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Consequently, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The carrying amount and estimated fair values, as well as the level within the fair value hierarchy, of the Company’s financial instruments are included in the tables below. See Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the 2017 10-K for a description of how fair value measurements are determined, except for loans, amended upon implementation of ASU 2016-01, Financial Statements - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. See Note 2, Recent Accounting Pronouncements, in this Report for a description of how the fair value measurement is determined for loans beginning January 1, 2018.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based upon pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since these dates and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
