Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Access National Corporation (the “Corporation”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation at December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) and our report dated April 4, 2018 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Corporation in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Corporation’s auditor since 2004.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited Access National Corporation’s (the “Corporation’s”) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the “COSO criteria”). In our opinion, the Corporation did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the COSO criteria.

We do not express an opinion or any other form of assurance on management’s statements referring to any corrective actions taken by the Corporation after the date of management’s assessment.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheets of the Corporation as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as “the financial statements”) and our report dated April 4, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying “Item 9A, Report of Management’s Assessment of Internal Control over Financial Reporting.” Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Corporation in accordance with U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit of internal control over financial reporting in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A material weakness relating to internal controls surrounding the general ledger account reconciliations to timely identify and account for stale-dated and other uncollectable reconciling items has been identified and described in management’s assessment. This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2017 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated April 4, 2018, on those financial statements.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations - Access National Corporation (the “Corporation “) is a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The holding company was formed on June 15, 2002. The Corporation has three active wholly owned subsidiaries: Access National Bank (the “Bank” or “ANB”); Middleburg Investment Group (“MIG”); and MFC Capital Trust II.

The Bank has three active wholly-owned subsidiaries: Access Real Estate LLC (“Access Real Estate”), a real estate company; ACME Real Estate LLC, a real estate holding company of foreclosed property; and Access Capital Management Holding, LLC (“ACM”), a holding company for Capital Fiduciary Advisors, L.L.C., Access Investment Services, L.L.C. and Access Insurance Group, L.L.C.

MIG has one active wholly-owned subsidiary being Middleburg Trust Company. Middleburg Trust Company was formed in 1994 and acquired by Access on April 1, 2017 in its merger with Middleburg Financial Corporation (“Middleburg”). Middleburg Trust Company is chartered under Virginia law and provides trust services to high net worth individuals,businesses and institutions.

MFC Capital Trust II was formed on December 12, 2003 for the purpose of issuing redeemable Capital Securities and was acquired by Access on April 1, 2017 in its merger with Middleburg.

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Access National Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries: Access National Bank and Middleburg Investment Group. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to predominant practices within the banking industry.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the fair values and impairments of financial instruments, the status of contingencies and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

Cash Flow Reporting - For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and due from banks, federal funds sold and interest-bearing deposits at other banks.

Restrictions on Cash and Cash Equivalents - As a member of the Federal Reserve System, the Bank is required to maintain certain average reserve balances. Those balances include usable vault cash and amounts on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond (“FRB”). At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the amount of daily average required balances was approximately $106.6 million and $43.6 million, respectively. The Mortgage Division held escrow deposits in conjunction with mortgage loans totaling $116 thousand and $196 thousand at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Securities - Debt securities that management has both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held-to-maturity” and are recorded at amortized cost. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity, including equity securities with readily determinable fair values, are classified as “available-for-sale” and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from net income and reported in other comprehensive income.

ACCESS NATIONAL CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the effective interest method over the terms of the securities or call dates if applicable. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in net income as realized losses. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Restricted Stock - Restricted stock consists of Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) stock and FRB stock. These stocks are classified as restricted stocks because their ownership is restricted to certain types of entities and they lack a market. Restricted stock is carried at cost on the Corporation’s financial statements. Dividends are paid semiannually on FRB stock and quarterly on FHLB stock.

Other Than Temporary Impairment of Investment Securities - Securities are evaluated quarterly for potential other than temporary impairment. Management considers the facts of each security including the nature of the security, the amount and duration of the loss, credit quality of the issuer, the expectations for that security’s performance, and the Corporation’s intent and ability to hold the security until recovery. Declines in equity securities that are considered to be other than temporary are recorded as a charge to net income in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Declines in debt securities that are considered to be other than temporary are separated into (1) the amount of the total impairment related to credit loss and (2) the amount of the total impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other than temporary impairment related to the credit loss is recognized in net income. The amount of the total impairment related to all other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Loans - The Corporation grants commercial, real estate, and consumer loans to customers in the community in and around the Central and Northern Virginia areas. The loan portfolio is well diversified and generally collateralized by assets of the customers. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. The ability of the Corporation’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in the Corporation’s market area.

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off generally are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances less the allowance for loan losses and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the effective interest method.

The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 180 days past due. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status or charged-off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all of the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

ACCESS NATIONAL CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Interest Income on Loans - Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication that the borrower may be unable to meet payments as they become due. Upon such discontinuance, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed.

Loans Held for Sale - The Corporation accounts for all one to four unit residential loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 825-10. Loans held for sale are recorded at fair value, determined individually, as of the balance sheet date.

Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to net income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance represents an amount that, in management’s judgment, will be adequate to absorb any losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible. Management’s judgment in determining the adequacy of the allowance is based on evaluations of the collectability of loans while taking into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions which may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, overall portfolio quality, and review of specific potential losses. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard or special mention. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Mortgage Division enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans with the intention of selling them in the secondary market. The Mortgage Division also enters into forward sales agreements for certain funded loans and loan commitments. The Mortgage Division records unfunded commitments intended for loans held for sale and forward sales agreements at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as a component of other income. Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at fair value. For pipeline loans which are not pre-sold to an investor, the Mortgage Division manages the interest rate risk on rate lock commitments by entering into forward sale contracts of mortgage backed securities, whereby the Mortgage Division obtains the right to deliver securities to investors in the future at a specified price. Such contracts are accounted for as derivatives and are recorded at fair value in derivative assets or liabilities, with changes in fair value recorded in other income.

ACCESS NATIONAL CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

The Mortgage Division has determined these derivative financial instruments do not meet the hedging criteria required by FASB ASC 815 and has not designated these derivative financial instruments as hedges. Accordingly, changes in fair value are recognized currently in income.

Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Premises and equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful lives; leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the respective leases or the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement, whichever is less. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 39 years for office buildings and 3 to 15 years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. Costs of maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; improvements and betterments are capitalized. When items are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gains or losses are included in the determination of net income.

Goodwill and Other Intangibles - Goodwill and other indefinite lived assets are not subject to amortization, but are subject to an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test as required by the FASB ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Acquired intangible assets are separately recognized if the benefit of the assets can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged, and amortized over their useful lives. Intangible assets with finite lives are tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

Goodwill and indefinite lived assets are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis or more often if events or circumstances indicate there may be impairment. Testing is conducted in two steps: identifying the potential impairment and then, if necessary, identifying the amount of impairment. The first step (step 1) compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a second test is conducted by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

The second step (step 2) of impairment testing is necessary only if the reporting unit does not pass step 1. Step 2 compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of the goodwill for the reporting unit. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as goodwill that is recognized in a business combination. Significant judgment and estimates are involved in estimating the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.

Significant judgment is applied when goodwill is assessed for impairment. This judgment includes developing cash flow projections, selecting appropriate discount rates, identifying relevant market comparables, incorporating general economic and market conditions, and selecting an appropriate control premium. Selection and weighting of the various fair value techniques may result in a higher or lower fair value. Judgment is applied in determining the weightings most representative of fair value.

Intangible assets are amortized or tested for impairment based on whether they have finite or indefinite lives. Intangibles that have finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life and tested for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Intangibles with indefinite lives are tested annually for impairment. Note 19 provides additional information related to goodwill and other intangibles.

Real Estate Owned - Real estate properties acquired through loan foreclosures are recorded initially at fair value, less expected sales costs. Subsequent valuations are performed by management, and the carrying amount of a property is adjusted by a charge to expense to reflect any subsequent declines in estimated fair value. Fair value estimates are based on recent appraisals and current market conditions. Gains or losses on sales of real estate owned are recognized upon disposition. Real estate owned is included in other assets. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Corporation did not have any real estate owned due to foreclosure. The Corporation did have one property with a balance of $643 thousand at December 31, 2017, which had previously been included in premises and equipment reclassified to other real estate owned when it was determined by management the property was no longer needed. The property was subsequently sold in 2018.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes - Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable, the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any adjustments related to unrecognized tax benefits. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the balance sheet method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Corporation has not identified any material uncertain tax positions.

Stock-Based Compensation Plans -In accordance with FASB ASC 718-10, the Corporation measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the grant date. That cost is recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, the requisite service period. No compensation expense is recognized for equity instruments for which employees do not render the requisite service. The Corporation determines the fair value of the employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Earnings Per Share - Basic earnings per share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Fair Value Measurements - The Corporation records certain of its assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an 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. Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels in a valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

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.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. See Note 16 - Fair Value Measurements.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase - Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are accounted for as collateralized financing transactions and are recorded at the amounts at which the securities were sold plus accrued interest. Securities, generally U.S. government and federal agency securities, pledged as collateral under these financing arrangements cannot be sold or re-pledged by the secured party.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP and will require entities to recognize revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Corporation expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The new standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures regarding the qualitative and quantitative information of an entity’s nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved amendments deferring the effective date by one year. The pronouncement is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Approximately 79% of the Corporation’s revenue comes from net interest income and is explicitly out of scope of the guidance. Additionally, residential mortgage banking income accounts for approximately 16% of revenue and is also out of scope of the guidance. The Corporation has concluded the adoption of the accounting standard will not have a material impact on the Corporation’s revenue recognition patterns or financial presentation and disclosures. The new standard is largely consistent with the existing guidance and current practices applied by our businesses with the primary impact related to a change in the timing of recognition of revenues derived from the Trust and Wealth Management segment. We will adopt this guidance using the modified retrospective approach in first quarter of 2018.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-1, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10). This ASU requires all equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income (other than those accounted for under equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee). The amendments in this update also require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. The amendments in the ASU are effective beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The ASU was issued in order to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The ASU requires that a lessee should recognize a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, using a modified retrospective approach, and early adoption is permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact the pronouncement will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The ASU amends ASC Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The ASU was effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Corporation adopted the accounting standard during the first quarter of 2017 with no material impact to the financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities by eliminating the probable initial recognition threshold (incurred loss methodology) and requiring entities to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The amendments in the ASU are effective beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities will apply the amendments in this ASU through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the first period effective. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements.

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This ASU was issued to reduce diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are being presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Guidance provided in the ASU are specific to eight cash flow issues being: debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs; settlement of zero-coupon debt or other debt instruments with interest rates that are insignificant to the effective interest rate of the borrowing; contingent consideration payments made after a business combination; proceeds received from the settlement of life insurance claims; proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies; distributions received from equity method investees; beneficial interests in securitization transactions; and application of the predominance principle. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The adoption of this guidance should not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory. Under current GAAP, recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer is prohibited until the asset has been sold to a third party. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory thereby requiring an entity to recognize the income tax consequences when the transfer occurs. The amendments in the ASU are effective beginning after December 15, 2017 and for interim periods within that year. Early adoption is permitted. Entities will apply the amendments in this ASU through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the first period effective. The adoption of this guidance should not have a material effect on the Corporation’s financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-4, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU was issued with the intent to simplify goodwill impairment testing by eliminating the second step of the analysis under which the implied fair value of goodwill is determined as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. The update instead requires entities to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for any amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, to the extent that the loss recognized does not exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. ASU 2017-4 must be applied prospectively and is effective for the Corporation on January 1, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, to clarify the scope of the guidance on nonfinancial asset derecognition as well as the accounting for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. The amendments conform the derecognition guidance on nonfinancial assets with the model for transactions in the new revenue standard. The amendments will be effective for the Corporation for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Corporation does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which is intended to enhance the accounting for the amortization of premiums for purchased callable debt securities. The amendments shorten the amortization period for the premium to the earliest call date. The amendments will be effective for the Corporation for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which amended the requirements in the Compensation-Stock Compensation Topic of the ASC related to changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. The amendments will be effective for the Corporation for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted. The Corporation does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The amendments in this update better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The ASU is effective for the Corporation in annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Corporation is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, but does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The ASU was issued to address the income tax accounting treatment of the stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income due to the prohibition of backward tracing due to an income tax rate change that was initially recorded in other comprehensive income. This issue came about from the enactment of the Tax Reform Act on December 22, 2017 that changed the Corporation’s income tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The ASU changed current accounting whereby an entity may elect to reclassify the stranded tax effect from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 31, 2018; however, public business entities are allowed to early adopt in any interim period for which the financial statements have not yet been issued. The amendments of the ASU may be applied either at the beginning of the period (annual or interim) of adoption or retrospectively to each of the period(s) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Corporation intends to early adopt the new standard during 2018 and plans to make an election to reclassify the stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retaining earnings at the beginning of the period of adoption.

Note 2. Securities

The following tables provide the amortized costs and fair values for the categories of available-for-sale securities and held-to-maturity securities at December 31, 2017 and 2016. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost, which reflects historical cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Available-for-sale securities are carried at estimated fair value with net unrealized gains or losses reported on an after tax basis as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in shareholders’ equity. The estimated fair value of available-for-sale securities is impacted by interest rates, credit spreads, market volatility, and liquidity.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2. Securities (continued)

The Corporation evaluates securities for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to various factors in determining whether the Corporation anticipates a recovery in fair value such as: the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, and the financial condition and underlying credit quality of the issuer. When analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Corporation may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, the sector or industry trends affecting the issuer, and whether any recent downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred.

Mortgage-backed

The Corporation’s unrealized losses on available-for-sale mortgage backed securities were caused by interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2017, fifty-nine securities had unrealized losses of $2.6 million. All fifty-nine securities are backed by the United States Government or a Government Sponsored Entity. The Corporation’s intent is to hold these securities until a market price recovery or maturity, and it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell these securities before their anticipated recovery. As such, the Corporation does not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.

US Government agencies

The Corporation’s unrealized loss on its U.S. Government Agency obligation was caused by interest rate fluctuations. On December 31, 2017, one available for sale security had an unrealized loss of $21 thousand. The severity and duration of this unrealized loss will fluctuate with interest rates in the economy. Based on the credit quality of the agency, the Corporation’s intent to hold this security until a market price recovery or maturity, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider this investment other than temporarily impaired.

Asset backed securities

The Corporation’s unrealized losses on its other investments were caused by interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2017, thirteen securities had unrealized losses of $511 thousand. Based on the credit quality of the issuers, the Corporation’s intent to hold these securities until a market price recovery, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recoveries, the Corporation does not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.

Municipals

The Corporation’s unrealized losses on its municipal investments were caused by interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2017, two held-to-maturity municipal had an unrealized loss of $26 thousand while twenty-seven available-for-sale municipals had unrealized losses of $1.2 million. Based on the credit quality of the issuers, the Corporation’s intent to hold these securities until a market price recovery, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these investments other than temporarily impaired.

Corporate bonds

The Corporation’s unrealized losses on its corporate bonds were caused by interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2017, one security had an unrealized loss of $9 thousand. Based on the credit quality of the issuer, the Corporation’s intent to hold this security until a market price recovery, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider this investment other than temporarily impaired.

Mutual fund

The Corporation’s unrealized loss on its CRA mutual fund investment was caused by interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2017, one security had an unrealized loss of $121 thousand. Based on the credit quality of the issuer, the Corporation’s intent to hold this security until a market price recovery, and the determination that it is more likely than not that the Corporation will not be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider this investment other than temporarily impaired.

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase (Repurchase Agreements)

The Corporation enters into agreements under which it sells securities subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities. Under these arrangements, the Corporation may transfer legal control over the assets but still retain effective control through an agreement that both entitles and obligates the Corporation to repurchase the assets. As a result, these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing agreements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a liability in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, while the securities underlying the repurchase agreements remain in the respective investment securities asset accounts. In other words, there is no offsetting or netting of the investment securities assets with the repurchase agreement liabilities. In addition, as the Corporation does not enter into reverse repurchase agreements, there is no such offsetting to be done with the repurchase agreements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2. Securities (continued)

The right of setoff for a repurchase agreement resembles a secured borrowing, whereby the collateral would be used to settle the fair value of the repurchase agreement should the Corporation be in default (e.g., fails to make an interest payment to the counterparty). The collateral is held by a third-party financial institution in the Corporation’s custodial account. The Corporation has the right to sell or repledge the investment securities. The risks and rewards associated with the investment securities pledged as collateral (e.g. a decline or rise in the fair value of the investments) remains with the Corporation. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the obligations outstanding under these repurchase agreements totaled $51.1 million and $17.0 million, respectively, and were comprised of overnight sweep accounts. The fair value of the securities pledged in connection with these repurchase agreements at December 31, 2017 was $63.3 million in total and consisted of $11.6 million in municipal securities, $47.4 million in mortgage-backed securities, $1.7 million in corporate bonds, $1.2 million in asset-backed securities, and $1.4 million in CRA mutual funds. The fair value of the securities pledged in connection with these repurchase agreements at December 31, 2016 was $21.4 million in total and consisted of $4.7 million in municipal securities, $6.9 million in mortgage backed securities, $5.9 million in corporate bonds, and $2.5 million in asset-backed securities.

Note 3. Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses

The composition of net loans is summarized as follows:

Unearned income and net deferred loan fees and costs totaled $3.1 million and $2.4 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Loans pledged to secure borrowings at the FHLB totaled $492.2 million and $266.6 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses totaled $15.8 million and $16.0 million at year end December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The allowance for loan losses was equivalent to 0.80% and 1.53% of total loans held for investment at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Adequacy of the allowance is assessed and the allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses charged to expense no less than quarterly. Charge-offs are taken when a loan is identified as uncollectible.

The methodology by which the Corporation systematically determines the amount of its allowance is set forth by the Board of Directors in its Loan Policy and implemented by management. The results of the analysis are documented, reviewed, and approved by the Board of Directors no less than quarterly.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 3. Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

The level of the allowance for loan losses is determined by management through an ongoing, detailed analysis of historical loss rates and risk characteristics. During each quarter, management evaluates the collectability of all loans in the portfolio and ensures an accurate risk rating is assigned to each loan. The risk rating scale and definitions commonly adopted by the Federal Banking Agencies is contained within the framework prescribed by the Bank’s Loan Policy. Any loan that is deemed to have potential or well defined weaknesses that may jeopardize collection in full is then analyzed to ascertain its level of weakness. If appropriate, the loan may be charged-off or a specific reserve may be assigned if the loan is deemed to be impaired.

During the risk rating verification process, each loan identified as inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged is considered impaired and is placed on non-accrual status. On these loans, management analyzes the potential impairment of the individual loan and may set aside a specific reserve. Any amounts deemed uncollectible during that analysis are charged-off.

For the remaining loans in each segment, the Bank calculates the probability of loss as a group using the risk rating for each of the following loan types: Commercial Real Estate - Owner Occupied, Commercial Real Estate - Non-Owner Occupied, Residential Real Estate, Commercial, Real Estate Construction, and Consumer. Management calculates the historical loss rate in each group by risk rating using a period of at least six years. This historical loss rate may then be adjusted based on management’s assessment of internal and external environmental factors. While management may consider other factors, the analysis generally includes factors such as unemployment, office vacancy rates, and any concentrations that exist within the portfolio. This adjustment is meant to account for changes between the historical economic environment and current conditions and for changes in the ongoing management of the portfolio which affects the loans’ potential losses.

Once complete, management compares the condition of the portfolio using several different characteristics, as well as its experience, to the experience of other banks in its peer group in order to determine if it is directionally consistent with others’ experience in our area and line of business. Based on that analysis, management aggregates the probabilities of loss of the remaining portfolio based on the specific and general allowances and may provide additional amounts to the allowance for loan losses as needed. Since this process involves estimates, the allowance for loan losses may also contain an amount that is non-material which is not allocated to a specific loan or to a group of loans but is deemed necessary to absorb additional losses in the portfolio.

Management and the Board of Directors subject the reserve adequacy and methodology to a review on a regular basis by internal auditors and bank regulators, and such reviews have not resulted in any material adjustment to the allowance.

Note 3. Loans and the Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

Loans acquired in a transfer, including in business combinations, where there is evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable at the date of acquisition that the Corporation will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments, are accounted for as purchased credit impaired loans. Purchased credit impaired loans are initially recorded at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, the historical allowance for loan losses related to these loans is not carried over.

Accounting for purchased credit impaired loans involves estimating fair value, at acquisition, using the principal and interest cash flows expected to be collected discounted at the prevailing market rate of interest. The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the estimated fair value at the acquisition date is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income using an effective yield method over the remaining life of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the nonaccretable difference and is not recorded. Any decreases in cash flows expected to be collected (other than due to decreases in interest rate indices and changes in prepayment and assumptions) will be charged to the provision for loan losses, resulting in an increase to the allowance for loan losses.

The following table present the changes in the accretable yield for purchased credit impaired loans for the year ended December 31, 2017:
