Fair value measurements
NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE
 
MEASUREMENTS
 
 
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would
 
be received to sell that asset or paid to transfer that
 
liability in an orderly
transaction occurring in the principal market (or most advantageous
 
market in the absence of a principal market) for such asset or
liability.
 
In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques
 
that are consistent with the market approach, the income
approach and/or the cost approach.
 
Such valuation techniques are consistently applied.
 
Inputs to valuation techniques include the
assumptions that market participants would use in
 
pricing an asset or liability.
 
ASC Topic 820
 
establishes a fair value hierarchy for
valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted
 
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the
 
lowest
priority to unobservable inputs.
 
The fair value hierarchy is as follows:
 
 
Level 1 Inputs -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
that the reporting entity has the
ability to access at the measurement date
.
 
 
 
Level 2 Inputs -
Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that
 
are observable for the asset or liability,
 
either directly
or indirectly. These
 
might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets,
 
quoted prices for identical
or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active,
 
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the
 
asset or
liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment
 
speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from, or
corroborated, by market data by correlation or other means
.
 
 
 
Level 3 Inputs -
Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or
 
liabilities that reflect an entity's own
assumptions about the assumptions that market participants
 
would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair
 
Value on
 
a Recurring Basis
 
 
Securities Available for Sale.
 
U.S. Treasury securities are reported
 
at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs.
 
Other securities classified as
available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level
 
2 inputs.
 
For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements
from an independent pricing service.
 
The fair value measurements consider observable data that may
 
include dealer quotes, market
spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury
 
yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, credit information
 
and the bond’s terms
and conditions, among other things.
 
In general, the Company does not purchase securities that have
 
a complicated structure.
 
The Company’s entire portfolio
 
consists of
traditional investments, nearly all of which are U.S. Treasury
 
obligations, federal agency bullet or mortgage pass-through
 
securities, or
general obligation or revenue-based municipal bonds.
 
Pricing for such instruments is easily obtained.
 
At least annually,
 
the Company
will validate prices supplied by the independent pricing
 
service by comparing them to prices obtained from an independent
 
third-party
source.
 
Loans Held for Sale
.
 
The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale based
 
on Level 2 inputs is determined, when possible,
using either quoted secondary-market prices or investor commitments.
 
If no such quoted price exists, the fair value is determined
using quoted prices for a similar asset or assets, adjusted for
 
the specific attributes of that loan, which would be used
 
by other market
participants.
 
The Company has elected the fair value option accounting for its held
 
for sale loans.
 
Mortgage Banking Derivative Instruments.
 
The fair values of interest rate lock commitments (“IRLCs”) are derived
 
by valuation
models incorporating market pricing for instruments with
 
similar characteristics, commonly referred to as best execution
 
pricing, or
investor commitment prices for best effort
 
IRLCs which have unobservable inputs, such as an estimate of
 
the fair value of the
servicing rights expected to be recorded upon sale of the
 
loans, net estimated costs to originate the loans, and the pull-through
 
rate,
and are therefore classified as Level 3 within the fair value
 
hierarchy.
 
The fair value of forward sale commitments is based on
observable market pricing for similar instruments and
 
are therefore classified as Level 2 within the fair value
 
hierarchy.
 
Interest Rate Swap.
The Company’s derivative
 
positions are classified as level 2 within the fair value
 
hierarchy and are valued using
models generally accepted in the financial services
 
industry and that use actively quoted or observable market
 
input values from
external market data providers.
 
The fair value derivatives are determined using discounted cash
 
flow models.
 
 
Fair Value
 
Swap
.
 
The Company entered into a stand-alone derivative contract
 
with the purchaser of its Visa Class B
 
shares.
 
The
valuation represents the amount due and payable to the counterparty
 
based upon the revised share conversion rate, if any,
 
during the
period.

Mortgage Banking Activities
.
 
The Company had Level 3 issuances and transfers related
 
to mortgage banking activities of $
27.4
million and $
19.3
 
million, respectively,
 
for the six month period ending June 30, 2021 and $
14.6
 
million and $
19.4
 
million,
respectively, for the
 
period March 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020.
 
Issuances are valued based on the change in fair value of
 
the underlying
mortgage loan from inception of the IRLC to the balance
 
sheet date, adjusted for pull-through rates and costs to originate
 
.
 
IRLCs
transferred out of Level 3 represent IRLCs that were funded
 
and moved to mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value.
 
Assets Measured at Fair Val
 
ue on a Non-Recurring Basis
 
 
Certain assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring
 
basis (i.e., the assets are not measured at fair value on an
 
ongoing basis
but are subject
 
to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances).
 
An example would be assets exhibiting evidence of impairment.
 
The following is a description of valuation methodologies
 
used for assets measured on a non-recurring basis.
 
 
Collateral Dependent Loans
.
 
Impairment for collateral dependent loans is measured
 
using the fair value of the collateral less selling
costs.
 
The fair value of collateral is determined by an
 
independent valuation or professional appraisal in conformance with banking
regulations.
 
Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs due to the volatility
 
in the real estate market, and the judgment and
estimation involved in the real estate appraisal process.
 
Collateral dependent loans are reviewed and evaluated on
 
at least a quarterly
basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
 
Valuation
 
techniques are consistent with those techniques applied in
 
prior
periods.
 
Collateral-dependent loans had a carrying value of $
4.7
 
million with a valuation allowance of $
0.6
 
million at June 30, 2021
and $
7.1
 
million and $
0.1
 
million, respectively,
 
at December 31, 2020.
 
Other Real Estate Owned
.
 
During the first six months of 2021,
 
certain foreclosed assets, upon initial recognition, were measured
 
and
reported at fair value through a charge-off
 
to the allowance for credit losses based on the fair value of the foreclosed
 
asset less
estimated cost to sell.
 
The fair value of the foreclosed asset is determined by
 
an independent valuation or professional appraisal in
conformance with banking regulations.
 
On an ongoing basis, we obtain updated appraisals on foreclosed
 
assets and realize valuation
adjustments as necessary.
 
The fair value of foreclosed assets is estimated using Level 3
 
inputs due to the judgment and estimation
involved in the real estate valuation process.
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights
.
 
Residential mortgage loan servicing rights are evaluated
 
for impairment at each reporting period based
upon the fair value of the rights as compared to the carrying
 
amount.
 
Fair value is determined by a third party valuation model using
estimated prepayment speeds of the underlying mortgage loans serviced
 
and stratifications based on the risk characteristics of the
underlying loans (predominantly loan type and note interest
 
rate).
 
The fair value is estimated using Level 3 inputs, including a
discount rate, weighted average prepayment speed, and
 
the cost of loan servicing.
 
Further detail on the key inputs utilized are
provided in Note 4 – Mortgage Banking Activities.
 
At June 30, 2021, there was
no
 
valuation allowance for loan servicing rights.
 
 
Assets and Liabilities Disclosed at Fair Value
 
The Company is required to disclose the estimated fair value
 
of financial instruments, both assets and liabilities, for which
 
it is
practical to estimate fair value and the following
 
is a description of valuation methodologies used for those assets and liabilities.
