NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and corresponding footnotes have been prepared by Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with instructions to Form 10-Q under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The year-end Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from the Company's audited financial statements. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Company owns a 100% interest in Residential Mortgage Holding Company, LLC, the parent company of Residential Mortgage, LLC (collectively "RML") and consolidates their balance sheets and income statement into its financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The Company determined that it operates in two primary operating segments: Community Banking and Home Mortgage Lending. The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure. Operating results for the interim period ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ending December 31, 2019. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations or total shareholders' equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting pronouncements implemented in 2019

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees, among other things, to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases under previous authoritative guidance. This update also introduces new disclosure requirements for leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements ("ASU 2018-11") to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the new leasing standard, ASU 2016-02. Specifically, under the amendments in ASU 2018-11: (1) entities may elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the new leasing standard, and (2) lessors may elect not to separate lease and non-lease components when certain conditions are met. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, utilizing the modified retrospective approach provided under the transition option in ASU 2018-11 for leases that exist on, or are entered into, after the adoption date. Accordingly, ASU 2016-02 has not been applied to comparative periods included in the Company's financial statements. The Company also elected certain relief options offered in ASU 2016-02 and ASU 2018-11, including the practical expedient on not separating lease components from nonlease components for all operating leases and instead to account for them as a single lease component and the option not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that arise from short-term leases (i.e., leases with terms of twelve months or less). The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which allows entities to use hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of right-of-use assets. The Company has several lease agreements, such as branch locations, which were considered operating leases prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02, and therefore, were not recognized on the Company’s consolidated statements of condition. The Company recognized these lease agreements on the consolidated balance sheets as a $15.9 million right-of-use asset and a $15.9 million lease liability upon adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. The adoption of ASU 2016-02 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Accounting pronouncements to be implemented in future periods

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The standard requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for certain financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates, but will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances.

ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization's portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2019, and must be applied prospectively. However, on October 16, 2019 the FASB voted to delay ASU 2016-13 for Smaller Reporting Companies, which will change the effective date for the Company to fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2022. The Company intends to elect the delayed implementation date. The Company is in the process of implementing this new standard. A cross-functional team is evaluating data elements, modeling options, and the application of reasonable and supportable forecasts that are expected to be critical to the new process for estimating credit losses and has engaged external consulting services related to this effort. An estimate of the impact of this standard on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined; however, the impact on the Company's process for calculating the allowance for loan losses ("Allowance") is expected to be significant.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. ASU 2017-04 is effective for the Company’s financial statements for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2019, and must be applied on a prospective basis. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, based on the concepts in the Concepts Statement, including the consideration of costs and benefits. ASU 2018-13 is effective for the Company’s financial statements for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2019. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASU 2019-04”). ASU 2019-04 clarifies and improves areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses (ASU 2016-13), hedging (ASU 2017-12), and recognition and measurement of financial instruments (ASU 2016-01). The amendments generally have the same effective dates as their related standards. If already adopted, the amendments of ASU 2016-01 and ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and the amendments of ASU 2017-12 are effective as of the beginning of the Company's next annual reporting period; early adoption is permitted. The Company previously adopted both ASU 2017-12 and ASU 2016-01 and does not expect that the amendments of ASU 2019-04 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of ASU 2016-13 and will consider the amendments of ASU 2019-04 as part of that process.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU 2019-05”). ASU 2019-05 provides entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments—Overall, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments. ASU 2019-05 is effective for the Company’s financial statements for annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2019. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

2. Leases

We adopted ASU 2016-02 using the modified retrospective approach with an effective date as of January 1, 2019. Prior year financial statements were not recast under the new standard and, therefore, those amounts are not presented below. We elected the package of transition provisions available for expired or existing contracts, which allowed us to carryforward our historical assessments of (1) whether contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. The Company also elected the practical expedient on not separating lease components from nonlease components for all operating leases. Additionally, the Company has elected to not apply ASU 2016-02 to short-term leases. Short-term leases are those leases that, at the lease commencement date, have a lease term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise.

The Company has lease agreements for land and office facilities that it occupies to operate several of its retail branch locations, as well as one storage facility, that are classified as operating leases and are recognized on the balance sheet as right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities. Most of these leases contain options to extend the duration of the leases at management's discretion. Management has recognized these renewal options as part of its ROU asset and lease liabilities when management is reasonably certain to exercise these options. Whether or not management is reasonably certain to exercise such an option is determined based on facts and circumstances for each individual lease. However, if a renewal option is offered at below market terms, management considers the exercise of that option to be reasonably certain for the purposes of calculating its ROU assets and lease liabilities. None of the Company's leases include residual value guarantees, and there are no restrictions or covenants imposed by these leases that impose significant additional financial obligations on the Company. The Company uses the rate implicit in each lease as the discount rate to determine the lease liability, which is the present value of lease payments not yet paid at the lease commencement date. If the rate implicit in each lease is not readily determinable, which is often the case, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate that the Company would have incurred to borrow the funds necessary to purchase the leased asset over a similar term.

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has operating lease ROU assets of $14.3 million and operating lease liabilities of $14.2 million. The Company does not have any agreements that are classified as finance leases.

The following table presents additional information about the Company's operating leases:

3. Revenue

The Company's revenue is included in net interest income and other operating income on its Consolidated Statements of Income. ASU 2014-09, which amends Topic 606 ("Topic 606") in the Accounting Standards Codification, establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity's contracts to provide goods or services to customers. The core principle requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that it expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services recognized as performance obligations are satisfied.

The majority of our ongoing revenue-generating transactions are not subject to Topic 606, including revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, purchased receivable income, financial guarantees, and derivatives are also not in scope of the guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant services income, and commissions from the sales of mutual funds and other investments. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s non-interest revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streams in-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Bankcard fees

Bankcard fees are primarily comprised of debit card income and ATM fees. Debit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa or MasterCard. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. The Company’s performance obligation for bankcard fees are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payments are typically received immediately or in the following month.

Service charges on deposit accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of general service fees for monthly account maintenance, activity- or transaction-based fees, and account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), and other deposit account related fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed. Payments for service charges on deposit accounts are primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Other

Other operating income consists of other recurring revenue streams such as merchant services income, commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments, safety deposit box rental fees, bank check and other check fees, unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. The Company’s performance obligation for merchant services income is largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the transactions have been completed. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. The Company earns commissions from the sale of mutual funds as periodic service fees (i.e., trailers) from Elliott Cove Capital Management typically based on a percentage of net asset value. Trailer revenue is recorded over time, quarterly, as net asset value is determined. The Company also earns commission income from the sale of annuity products. The Company acts as an intermediary between the Company's customer and Elliott Cove Investment Advisors for these transactions, and commissions from annuity product sales are recorded when the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, which is generally upon the issuance of the annuity policy. The Company does not earn trailer fees on annuity sales. Payment for commissions from sales of mutual funds and other investments and annuity sales is typically received in the following quarter. Other service charges include revenue from safety deposit box rental fees, processing wire transfers, bank check and other check fees, and other services. The Company’s performance obligations for these other revenue streams are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payments are typically received immediately or in the following month.

The following presents other operating income, segregated by revenue streams in-scope and out-of-scope of Topic 606, for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:



(In Thousands)			Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
Other operating income			2019		2018		2019		2018
	In-scope of Topic 606:
		Bankcard fees		$820		$724		$2,214		$2,056
		Service charges on deposit accounts	398		407		1,224		1,137
		Other	433		405		1,249		1,204
	Other operating income (in-scope of Topic 606)			$1,651		$1,536		$4,687		$4,397
	Other operating income (out-of-scope of Topic 606)		8,858		7,137		22,924		20,052
Total other operating income				$10,509		$8,673		$27,611		$24,449

Gains on the sale of other real estate owned ("OREO") are also within the scope of Topic 606 and are recorded within other operating expense on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. Gains on the sale of OREO properties were $63,000 and $83,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $380,000 and $133,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s other operating revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standard month-end revenue accruals. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

Contract Acquisition Costs

An entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of Topic 606 on January 1, 2018, the Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition costs.

4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company is required to maintain a $2.1 million minimum average daily balance with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco ("Federal Reserve Bank") for purposes of settling financial transactions and charges for Federal Reserve Bank services. The Company is also required to maintain cash balances or deposits with the Federal Reserve Bank sufficient to meet its statutory reserve requirements. The average reserve requirement for the maintenance period which included September 30, 2019, was $0.

The Company is required to maintain a $500,000 balance with a correspondent bank for outsourced servicing of ATMs.

The Company is required to maintain a $100,000 and $1.2 million balance with a correspondent bank to collateralize the initial margin and the fair value exposure of its interest rate swap, respectively.

Gross unrealized losses on investment securities and the fair value of the related securities, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:



	Less Than 12 Months				More Than 12 Months				Total

Total		$41,201		$507		$137,480		$1,455		$178,681		$1,962

The unrealized losses on investments in U.S. treasury and government sponsored entities, corporate bonds, collateralized loan obligations, and municipal securities in both periods were caused by changes in interest rates. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 9 and 14 available-for-sale securities with unrealized losses that have been in a loss position for less than twelve months, respectively. There were 3 and 23 securities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 that have been in an unrealized loss position for more than twelve months, respectively. The contractual terms of the investments in a loss position do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because it is more likely than not that the Company will hold these investments until a market price recovery or maturity, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, $29.1 million and $58.4 million in securities were pledged for deposits and borrowings, respectively.

The amortized cost and estimated fair values of debt securities at September 30, 2019, are distributed by contractual maturity as shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.



(In Thousands)	Amortized Cost		Fair Value		Weighted Average Yield
US Treasury and government sponsored entities

Less: Unearned origination fees, net of origination costs																	(4,487		)
Total loans																		$984,346

Loans are carried at their principal amount outstanding, net of charge-offs, unamortized fees and direct loan origination costs. Loan balances are charged-off to the Allowance when management believes that collection of principal is unlikely. Interest income on loans is accrued and recognized on the principal amount outstanding except for loans in a nonaccrual status. All classes of loans are placed on nonaccrual and considered impaired when management believes doubt exists as to the collectability of the interest or principal. Cash payments received on nonaccrual loans are directly applied to the principal balance. Generally, a loan may be returned to accrual status when the delinquent principal and interest is brought current in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Additionally, certain ongoing performance criteria, which generally includes a performance period of six months, must be met in order for a loan to be returned to accrual status. Loans are reported as past due when installment payments, interest payments, or maturity payments are past due based on contractual terms.

Nonaccrual loans: Nonaccrual loans net of government guarantees totaled $15.5 million and $14.7 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Nonaccrual loans at the periods indicated are presented below by segment:

Impaired Loans: The Company considers a loan to be impaired when it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Once a loan is determined to be impaired, the impairment is measured based on the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except that if the loan is collateral dependent, the impairment is measured by using the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Nonperforming loans with an outstanding balance of $50,000 or greater are individually evaluated for impairment based upon the borrower’s overall financial condition, resources, and payment record, and the prospects for support from any financially responsible guarantors.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired was $27.2 million and $31.7 million, respectively. The following table presents information about impaired loans by class as of the periods indicated:

Total Impaired Loans		$29,387		$463		$36,321		$630

Troubled Debt Restructurings: Loans classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) totaled $10.2 million and $14.8 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. A TDR is a loan to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty that has been modified from its original terms and conditions in such a way that the Company is granting the borrower a concession that it would not grant otherwise. The Company has granted a variety of concessions to borrowers in the form of loan modifications. The modifications granted can generally be described in the following categories:

Rate Modification: A modification in which the interest rate is changed.

Term Modification: A modification in which the maturity date, timing of payments, or frequency of payments is changed.

Payment Modification: A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed, or in which a loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time is included in this category.

Combination Modification: Any other type of modification, including the use of multiple categories above.

AQR pass graded loans included above in the impaired loan data are loans classified as TDRs. By definition, TDRs are considered impaired loans. All of the Company's TDRs are included in impaired loans.

The following table presents the breakout between newly restructured loans that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and restructured loans that occurred prior to 2019 that are still included in portfolio loans:

The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs. There were $64,000 in charge-offs in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 on loans that were newly classified as TDRs during the same period.

All TDRs are also classified as impaired loans and are included in the loans individually evaluated for impairment in the calculation of the Allowance. There were no TDRs with specific impairment at September 30, 2019 and one at December 31, 2018.

The following table presents TDRs that defaulted within twelve months of restructure and defaulted during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

8. Purchased Receivables

Purchased receivables are carried at their principal amount outstanding, net of a reserve for anticipated losses that have not yet been identified, and have a maturity of less than one year. Purchased receivable balances are charged against this reserve when management believes that collection of principal is unlikely. Management evaluates the adequacy of the reserve for purchased receivable losses based on historical loss experience by class of receivable and its assessment of current economic conditions. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has one class of purchased receivables. There were no purchased receivables past due at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018, and there were no restructured purchased receivables at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Income on purchased receivables is accrued and recognized on the principal amount outstanding using an effective interest method except when management believes doubt exists as to the collectability of the income or principal. As of September 30, 2019, the Company is accruing income on all purchased receivable balances outstanding.

The following table summarizes the components of net purchased receivables for the periods indicated:



(In Thousands)	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Purchased receivables		$13,760			$14,596
Reserve for purchased receivable losses	(87		)	(190		)
Total		$13,673			$14,406

The following table sets forth information regarding changes in the purchased receivable reserve for the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively:

9. Servicing Rights

Mortgage servicing rights

The following table details the activity in the Company's mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In Thousands)	2019			2018			2019			2018

Balance, beginning of period		$10,836			$8,733			$10,821			$7,305

⁽¹⁾Principally reflects changes in discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions, which are primarily affected by changes in interest rates.

⁽²⁾Represents changes due to collection/realization of expected cash flows over time.

The following table details information related to our serviced mortgage loan portfolio as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

The Company recognized servicing fees of $616,000 and $487,000 during the three-month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $1.8 million and $1.4 million during the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which includes contractually specified servicing fees, late fees, and ancillary fees as a component of other noninterest income in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following table outlines the key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of MSR as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:



	2019		2018

Constant prepayment rate	11.51	%	7.70	%
Discount rate	8.58	%	9.94	%

Key economic assumptions and the sensitivity of the current fair value for MSR to immediate adverse changes in those assumptions at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:



(In Thousands)				September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Aggregate portfolio principal balance					$634,059			$557,583
Weighted average rate of note				3.94		%	3.91		%

September 30, 2019	Base			1.0% Adverse Rate Change			2.0% Adverse Rate Change
Constant prepayment rate	11.51		%	28.16		%	30.31		%
Discount rate	8.58		%	7.58		%	6.58		%
Fair value MSR		$11,206			$6,626			$6,308
Percentage of MSR	1.77		%	1.05		%	0.99		%

December 31, 2018
Constant prepayment rate	7.70		%	19.35		%	20.95		%
Discount rate	9.94		%	8.94		%	7.94		%
Fair value MSR		$10,821			$7,115			$6,829
Percentage of MSR	1.94		%	1.28		%	1.22		%

The above tables show the sensitivity to market rate changes for the par rate coupon for a conventional one-to-four family Alaska Housing Finance Corporation/FNMA/FHLMC serviced home loan. The above tables reference a 100 basis point and 200 basis point decrease in note rates.

These sensitivities are hypothetical and should be used with caution as the tables above demonstrate the Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of MSR is highly sensitive to changes in key assumptions. For example, actual prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect on MSR fair value. Changes in fair value resulting from changes in assumptions generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship of the change in the assumption to the change in fair value may not be linear. Also, in these tables, the effects of a variation in a particular assumption on the fair value of the MSR is calculated without changing any other assumption; in reality, changes in one factor may be associated with changes in another (for example, decreases in market interest rates may provide an incentive to refinance; however, this may also indicate a slowing economy and an increase in the unemployment rate, which reduces the number of borrowers who qualify for refinancing), which may magnify or counteract the sensitivities. Thus, any measurement of MSR fair value is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions made at a particular point in time. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied to a different point in time.

Commercial servicing rights

The commercial servicing right asset ("CSR") has a carrying value $1.0 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, and is included in other assets and carried at fair value on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. Total commercial loans serviced for others were $236.7 million and $239.5 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Key assumptions used in measuring the fair value of the CSR as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 include a constant prepayment rate of 12.72% and a discount rate of 11.49%.

10. Derivatives

Interest rates swaps related to community banking activities

The Company enters into commercial loan interest rate swap agreements with commercial banking customers which are offset with a corresponding swap agreement with a third party financial institution ("counterparty"). The Company has agreements with its counterparties that contain provisions that provide that if the Company fails to maintain its status as a well-capitalized institution, then the counterparty could terminate the derivative positions and the Company would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements. These agreements also require that the Company and the counterparty collateralize any fair value shortfalls that exceed $250,000 with eligible collateral, which includes cash and securities backed with the full faith and credit of the federal government. Similarly, the Company could be required to settle its obligations under the agreement if specific regulatory events occur, such as if the Company were issued a prompt corrective action directive or a cease and desist order, or if certain regulatory ratios fall below specified levels. The Company pledged $3.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and $296,000 as of December 31, 2018 in available for sale securities to collateralize fair value shortfalls on interest rate swap agreements.

The Company had interest rate swaps related to commercial loans with an aggregate notional amount of $63.4 million and $16.0 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. At September 30, 2019, the notional amount of interest rate swaps is made up of six variable to fixed rate swaps to commercial loan customers totaling $31.7 million, and six fixed to variable rate swaps with a counterparty totaling $31.7 million. Changes in fair value from these six interest rate swaps offset each other in the first nine months of 2019. The Company recognized zero fee income related to interest rate swaps in the three-month period ending September 30, 2019. The Company recognized $734,000 in fee income related to interest rate swaps in the nine-month period ending September 30, 2019 and $70,000 in fee income related to interest rate swaps in the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2018, respectively. Interest rate swap income is recorded in other operating income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. None of these interest rate swaps are designated as hedging instruments.

The Company entered into an interest rate swap in the third quarter of 2017 to hedge the variability in cash flows arising out of its junior subordinated debentures, which is floating rate debt, by swapping the cash flows with an interest rate swap which receives floating and pays fixed. The Company has designated this interest rate swap as a hedging instrument. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the Company's interest payments on the $10.0 million of junior subordinated debentures held under Northrim Statutory Trust 2 at 3.72% through its maturity date. The floating rate that the dealer pays is equal to the three month LIBOR plus 1.37% which reprices quarterly on the payment date. This rate was 3.49% as of September 30, 2019. The Company pledged $1.3 million and $400,000 in cash to collateralize initial margin and fair value exposure of our counterparty on this interest rate swap as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Changes in the fair value of this interest rate swap are reported in other comprehensive income. The unrealized loss on this interest rate swap was $1.1 million as of September 30, 2019 and the unrealized gain was $607,000 as of December 31, 2018.

Interest rates swaps related to home mortgage banking activities

The Company also uses derivatives to hedge the risk of changes in the fair values of interest rate lock commitments. The Company enters into commitments to originate residential mortgage loans at specific rates; the value of these commitments are detailed in the table below as "interest rate lock commitments". The Company also hedges the interest rate risk associated with its residential mortgage loan commitments, which are referred to as "retail interest rate contracts" in the table below. Market risk with respect to commitments to originate loans arises from changes in the value of contractual positions due to changes in interest rates. RML had commitments to originate mortgage loans held for sale totaling $86.0 million and $45.0 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Changes in the value of RML's interest rate derivatives are recorded in mortgage banking income on the Consolidated Statements of Income. None of these derivatives are designated as hedging instruments.

The following table presents the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Our derivative transactions with counterparties under International Swaps and Derivative Association master agreements include "right of set-off" provisions. "Right of set-off" provisions are legally enforceable rights to offset recognized amounts and there may be an intention to settle such amounts on a net basis. We do not offset such financial instruments for financial reporting purposes.

The following table summarizes the derivatives that have a right of offset as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

11. Stock Incentive Plan

The Company adopted the 2017 Stock Option Plan (“2017 Plan”) following shareholder approval of the 2017 Plan at the 2017 Annual Meeting. Subsequent to the adoption of the 2017 Plan, no additional grants may be issued under the prior plans. The 2017 Plan provides for grants of up to 350,000 shares of common stock.

Stock Options: Under the 2017 Plan and previous plans, certain key employees have been granted the option to purchase set amounts of common stock at the market price on the day the option was granted. Optionees, at their own discretion, may cover the cost of exercise through the exchange at the then fair value of already owned shares of the Company’s stock. Options are granted for a 10-year period and vest on a pro-rata basis over the initial three years from grant.

The Company measures the fair value of each stock option at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. For the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $32,000 and $31,000, respectively, in stock option compensation expense as a component of salaries and other personnel expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $97,000 and $139,000, respectively, in stock option compensation expense as a component of salaries and other personnel expense.

The Company allows stock options to be exercised through cash or cashless transactions. Cashless stock option exercises require a portion of the options exercised to be net settled in satisfaction of the exercise price and applicable tax withholding

requirements. The Company issued 2,533 and 4,256 shares from the exercise of stock options for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively. In the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, the Company net settled $137,000 and $203,000 for cashless stock option exercises, respectively. The Company withheld $268,000 and $317,000 to pay for stock option exercises or income taxes that resulted from the exercise of stock options in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The Company issued 11,427 and 12,423 shares from the exercises of stock options in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018. The Company received $195,000 cash for the stock option exercises in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018. In the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company net settled $74,000 for cashless stock option exercises. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, the Company net settled $130,000 for cashless stock option exercises. The Company withheld $154,000 and $227,000 to pay for stock option exercises or income taxes the resulted from the exercise of stock options in the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2018.

There were no stock options granted in the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Restricted Stock Units: The Company grants restricted stock units to certain key employees periodically. Recipients of restricted stock units do not pay any cash consideration to the Company for the shares and receive all dividends with respect to such shares when the shares vest. Restricted stock units cliff vest at the end of a three-year time period. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $161,000 and $128,000, respectively, in restricted stock unit compensation expense as a component of salaries and other personnel expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $447,000 and $432,000, respectively, in restricted stock unit compensation expense as a component of salaries and other personnel expense.

There were no restricted stock units granted in the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

12. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies. In accordance with GAAP, the Company groups its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into the following three levels:


•	Level 1: Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. A quoted market price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and is used to measure fair value whenever available. A contractually binding sales price also provides reliable evidence of fair value.


•	Level 2: Valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.


•	Level 3: Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market, or inputs that require significant management judgment or estimation, some of which may be internally developed.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Investment securities available for sale and marketable securities: Fair values are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans held for sale: Due to the short term nature of these instruments, the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets represent their fair values.

Servicing rights: MSR and CSR are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. These assets are classified as Level 3 as quoted prices are not available. In order to determine the fair value of MSR and CSR, the present value of net expected future cash flows is estimated. Assumptions used include market discount rates, anticipated prepayment speeds, escrow calculations, delinquency rates, and ancillary fee income net of servicing costs. The model assumptions are also compared to publicly filed information from several large MSR holders, as available.

Derivative instruments: The fair value of the interest rate lock commitments are estimated using quoted or published market prices for similar instruments, adjusted for factors such as pull-through rate assumptions based on historical information, where appropriate. The pull-through rate assumptions are considered Level 3 valuation inputs and are significant to the interest rate lock commitment valuation; as such, the interest rate lock commitment derivatives are classified as Level 3. Interest rate contracts are valued in a model, which uses as its basis a discounted cash flow technique incorporating credit valuation adjustments to reflect nonperformance risk in the measurement of fair value. Although the Company has determined that the majority of inputs used to value its interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2019, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of these adjustments on the overall valuation of its interest rate positions and has determined that they are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate derivatives. As a result, the Company has classified its interest rate derivative valuations in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit: The fair value of commitments is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit is based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligation with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Assets Subject to Nonrecurring Adjustment to Fair Value:

The Company is also required to measure certain assets such as equity method investments, goodwill, intangible assets, impaired loans, and OREO at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. Any nonrecurring adjustments to fair value usually result from the writedown of individual assets.

The Company uses either in-house evaluations or external appraisals to estimate the fair value of OREO and impaired loans as of each reporting date. In-house appraisals are considered Level 3 inputs and external appraisals are considered Level 2 inputs. The Company’s determination of which method to use is based upon several factors. The Company takes into account compliance with legal and regulatory guidelines, the amount of the loan, the size of the assets, the location and type of property to be valued and how critical the timing of completion of the analysis is to the assessment of value. Those factors are balanced with the level of internal expertise, internal experience and market information available, versus external expertise available such as qualified appraisers, brokers, auctioneers and equipment specialists.

The Company uses external sources to estimate fair value for projects that are not fully constructed as of the date of valuation. These projects are generally valued as if complete, with an appropriate allowance for cost of completion, including contingencies developed from external sources such as vendors, engineers and contractors. The Company believes that recording OREO that is not fully constructed based on as if complete values is more appropriate than recording OREO that is not fully constructed using as is values. We concluded that as-is-complete values are appropriate for these types of projects based on the accounting guidance for capitalization of project costs and subsequent measurement of the value of real estate. GAAP specifically states that estimates and cost allocations must be reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reallocated based on revised estimates. The Company adjusts the carrying value of OREO in accordance with this guidance for increases in estimated cost to complete that exceed the fair value of the real estate at the end of each reporting period.

Limitations

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Estimated fair values as of the periods indicated are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Northrim BanCorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and the notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report and with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Except as otherwise noted, references to "we", "our", "us" or "the Company" refer to Northrim BanCorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries that are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

Note Regarding Forward Looking-Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements,” as that term is defined for purposes of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements describe management’s expectations about future events and developments such as future operating results, growth in loans and deposits, continued success of the Company’s style of banking, and the strength of the local economy. All statements other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position, made in this report are forward-looking. We use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend” and similar expressions in part to help identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current plans and expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations, and those variations may be both material and adverse. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to differ materially and adversely from our expectations as indicated in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include: the general condition of, and changes in, the Alaska economy; our ability to maintain or expand our market share or net interest margin; our ability to maintain asset quality; our ability to implement our marketing and growth strategies; and our ability to execute our business plan. Further, actual results may be affected by competition on price and other factors with other financial institutions; customer acceptance of new products and services; the regulatory environment in which we operate; and general trends in the local, regional and national banking industry and economy. Many of these risks, as well as other risks that may have a material adverse impact on our operations and business, are identified in Part II. Item 1A Risk Factors of this report and Item 1A in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, as well as in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, you should be aware that these factors are not an exhaustive list, and you should not assume these are the only factors that may cause our actual results to differ from our expectations. In addition, you should note that forward looking statements are made only as of the date of this report and that we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements or the uncertainties that may adversely impact those statements, other than as required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make a number of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable; however, actual results may differ significantly from these estimates and assumptions which could have a material impact on the carrying value of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and on our results of operations for the reporting periods.

The accounting policies that involve significant estimates and assumptions by management, which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, are considered critical accounting policies. The Company’s critical accounting policies include those that address the accounting for the allowance for loan losses ("Allowance"), valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, the valuation of other real estate owned ("OREO"), and the valuation of mortgage servicing rights. These critical accounting policies are further described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis, and in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Management has applied its critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

Update on Economic Conditions

The Alaska economy went through three consecutive years of a mild recession. Macro-economic indicators began to show a positive change in the fourth quarter of 2018, with improvements continuing into 2019. The State Department of Labor reported growth of 400 jobs in August of 2019 compared to August of 2018. October of 2018 was the first month of year-over-year increase in employment since September of 2015. After 37 months of year-over-year declines, Alaska now has eleven consecutive months of year-over-year job increases. The State Department of Labor forecasted an increase of 1,400 jobs, or 0.4% growth for the entire year. They expect the major drivers of job growth to be military, oil & gas activity and tourism.

Alaska’s seasonally adjusted gross state product (GSP) was $54.6 billion in the first quarter of 2019, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis ("BEA") in a report released on July 25, 2019. Alaska’s GSP increased 3.9% annualized in the first quarter of 2019, marking the fourth consecutive quarter of improvement in Alaska’s GSP. Alaska’s real GSP declined by 5.7% annualized in the first quarter of 2018, but then grew in the second, third and fourth quarters last year. The net result was a slight decline of GSP for 2018 of -0.3%. Alaska’s GSP declined -1.8% in 2016 and -0.2 % in 2017.

Alaska’s personal income grew 4.3% annualized in the first quarter of 2019 and 5.6% in the second quarter according to a report released on September 24, 2019 by the BEA. Total personal income from all sources in Alaska grew to $45.5 billion. The largest increase in dollar terms in the second quarter of 2019 came from a $330 million or 4.6% growth in wages and proprietors income. Dividends, interest and rental income grew by $100 million and income from government transfer payments increased by $185 million in the second quarter.

Management believes that the most recent macro-economic indicators show Alaska’s economy has begun to grow again and add jobs. In the near term, there is concern over the effect of State government budget cuts. However, management believes there is renewed optimism in the private sector that a number of large-scale natural resource development projects are advancing and new discoveries of oil and gas are increasing investment activity for exploration and development.

Alaska North Slope (ANS) average monthly oil prices have been between $60 and $72 in 2019. The September monthly average for ANS was $63.83. The State Department of Revenue has forecasted an annual average ANS oil price of $68.90 per barrel in fiscal year (FY) 2019 and $66 per barrel in FY 2020.

Alaska’s crude oil production averaged 540,500 barrels per day (bpd) in FY 2017. This was an increase of 9,300 bpd over the previous year and the second year of production growth. This two-year positive trend reversed slightly last year when total output declined 1.2% to 534,000 bpd in FY 2018. The State Department of Revenue forecasts production on the North Slope to decline in FY 2019 by 1.3% and then rise by 3.5% in 2020.

Management believes that the impact of the pending sale of BP’s Alaska operations to Hilcorp, announced in August, provides both opportunities and challenges for oil services firms and the businesses that serve this leading industrial sector. BP currently employs approximately 1,600 workers or one-sixth of total employment in Alaska’s oil and gas industry. Hilcorp has told BP’s workers that they will receive more information on future employment levels in December.

Alaska’s home mortgage delinquency and foreclosure levels continue to be better than most of the nation. Alaskans showed resiliency and kept their home payments current despite the local recession. According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, Alaska’s foreclosure rate was 0.68% at the end of the second quarter 2019. This compares to 0.63% at the end of the first quarter 2019. The comparable national average rate was 0.90% at the end of the second quarter 2019. The national rate continues to improve while the Alaska rate remains relatively lower and stable.

The national survey reported that the percentage of delinquent mortgage loans in Alaska was 3.21% for the second quarter of 2019. The Alaska delinquency rate at the end of 2018 was 2.92%, compared to 3.37% for the same period in 2017. The 2018 average delinquency rate across the country was 1.4% higher than Alaska at 4.32%. The U.S. rate moved slightly higher to 4.41% at the end of the second quarter 2019.

The Federal Open Market Committee ("FOMC") cut the target federal funds rate for the first time in 2019 to 2.25% in July of 2019. The FOMC then cut the target again to 2.00% in September 2019 and cut the target to 1.75% in October 2019. September's policy statement signaled the possibility of further cuts to the target federal funds rate if the United States economy showed additional signs of weakening. This language was notably removed from the October 2019 statement, and management believes that this may indicate a halt to further cuts in the immediate future. The FOMC indicated in the October 2019 statement that it will continue to monitor implications of incoming information for the economic outlook.

Highlights and Summary of Performance - Third Quarter of 2019

The Company reported net income and diluted earnings per share of $7.5 million and $1.11, respectively, for the third quarter of 2019 compared to net income and diluted earnings per share of $5.3 million and $0.75, respectively, for the third quarter of 2018. The Company reported net income and diluted earnings per share of $16.1 million and $2.35, respectively, for the first nine months of 2019 compared to net income and diluted earnings per share of $15.2 million and $2.17, respectively, for the same period in 2018. The year-over-year increase in net income in both the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2019 is primarily due to a decrease in the provision for loan losses and increases in net interest income and mortgage banking income. These changes were only partially offset by an increase in other operating expense that was primarily due to increases in commissions paid to home mortgage lending employees driven by higher mortgage loan originations, additional expenses related to the new branches opened in Soldotna on the Kenai peninsula and in East Anchorage over the past year, and an increase in the expense in Company's self-insured employee medical benefit plan as well as other employee benefit plans.


•	Total revenue in the third quarter of 2019, which includes net interest income plus other operating income, increased 9% to $26.8 million from $24.5 million in the third quarter a year ago.


•	Net interest income increased 3% in the third quarter of 2019 and increased 7% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 mainly due to an increase in average earning asset balances as well as higher net yields in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.


•	Net interest margin decreased to 4.60% in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to 4.69% in the third quarter a year ago and increased to 4.71% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to 4.49% for the same period in 2018.


•	The Company repurchased 192,193 shares of its common stock in the third quarter of 2019 at an average price of $37.29, leaving zero shares available under the previously announced repurchase authorization.

Credit Quality

Nonperforming assets: Nonperforming assets, net of government guarantees at September 30, 2019 decreased $1.1 million, or 5% to $21.5 million as compared to $22.6 million at December 31, 2018. OREO, net of government guarantees, decreased $919,000 to $5.8 million at September 30, 2019 as compared to $6.7 million at December 31, 2018 due to sales of OREO during the period. Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees increased $813,000 during the first nine months of 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018, as additions exceeded paydowns in the first nine months of 2019. $13.0 million, or 61% of total nonperforming assets are nonaccrual loans related to six commercial relationships. Two of these relationships, which totaled $6.0 million at the end of the third quarter of 2019, are businesses in the medical industry.

Potential problem loans: Potential problem loans are loans which are currently performing in accordance with contractual terms but that have developed negative indications that the borrower may not be able to comply with present payment terms and which may later be included in nonaccrual, past due, or impaired loans. These loans are closely monitored and their performance is reviewed by management on a regular basis. At September 30, 2019, management had identified potential problem loans of $9.8 million as compared to potential problem loans of $17.1 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease in potential problem loans from December 31, 2018 to September 30, 2019 is primarily the result of the transfer of nine commercial relationships totaling $8.5 million as of December 31, 2018, net of government guarantees, to nonaccrual status. There were nine new potential problem loans during the first nine months of 2019 totaling $3.7 million, but these additions were partially offset by net paydowns on existing potential problem loans of $2.5 million.

Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”): TDRs are those loans for which concessions, including the reduction of interest rates below a rate otherwise available to that borrower, have been granted due to the borrower’s weakened financial condition. Interest on TDRs will be accrued at the restructured rates when it is anticipated that no loss of original principal will occur, and the interest can be collected, which is generally after a period of six months. The Company had $1.5 million in loans classified as TDRs that were performing and $8.7 million in TDRs included in nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2019 for a total of approximately $10.2 million. At December 31, 2018 there were $3.4 million in loans classified as TDRs that were performing

and $11.4 million in TDRs included in nonaccrual loans for a total of $14.8 million. The decrease in TDRs included in nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2019 as compared to December 31, 2018 is mostly the result of payments made by two borrowers, which were only partially offset by the addition of three relationships added in the first nine months of 2019. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for further discussion of TDRs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Income Statement

Net Income

Net income for the third quarter of 2019 increased $2.2 million, or 43%, to $7.5 million as compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2018. Net income for the first nine months of 2019 increased $955,000 or 6%, to $16.1 million as compared to $15.2 million for the first nine months of 2018. The increase in both periods was primarily due to a decrease in the provision for loan losses and increases in net interest income and other operating income that were only partially offset by increases in other operating expense.

Net Interest Income/Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2019 increased $487,000, or 3%, to $16.3 million as compared to $15.8 million for the third quarter in 2018. Net interest margin decreased 9 basis points to 4.60% in the third quarter of 2019 as compared to 4.69% in the third quarter of 2018. Net interest income for the first nine months of 2019 increased $3.0 million, or 7%, to $48.0 million as compared to $45.1 million for the first nine months of 2018. Net interest margin increased 22 basis points to 4.71% in the first nine months of 2019 as compared to 4.49% in the first nine months of 2018. The increases in net interest income were primarily the result of higher interest income on loans and investments compared to the same periods in 2018, which were only partially offset by higher total interest expense. Changes in net interest margin in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the same period in the prior year are detailed below:

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was a benefit of $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2019 due to decreases in qualitative factors including decreases in nonaccrual loans, loans 30-89 past due, and adversely classified loans as a percentage of total loans, a decrease in the large borrower concentration, and a decrease in the allocation for macroeconomic trends as these trends have improved. These decreases were only partially offset by an increase in loan balances, an increase in the allocation for impaired loans, and an increase in the unallocated portion of the Allowance. The provision for loan losses was zero for the third quarter of 2018. In the third quarter of 2018, the increase in portfolio loans that would normally result in an increase in the provision for loan losses was offset by an improvement in the qualitative factors that management utilizes in the calculation of the Allowance. Nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees were essentially flat during the third quarter of 2018 and adversely classified loans decreased $3.5 million to $29.7 million at September 30, 2018 from $33.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2018. The ratio of the Allowance to total nonperforming loans, net of government guarantees was 123% at September 30, 2019 and 121% at September 30, 2018.

The provision for loan losses was a benefit of $1.0 million for the first nine months of 2019 primarily due to the same reasons noted above for the third quarter of 2019, except the qualitative factor related to the large borrower concentration increased during the nine month period ending September 30, 2019 and the allocation for loan portfolio quality trends including nonaccrual loans, loans 30-89 days past due, and adversely classified loans was unchanged during this period. The benefit of $300,000 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2018 was the result of the impact of improvement in the qualitative factors, which exceeded the impact of the increase in portfolio loans.

See "Analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses" under the "Financial Condition-Balance Sheet Overview" and Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for more information on changes in the Company's Allowance.

Other Operating Income

Other operating income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2019, increased $1.8 million, or 21%, to $10.5 million as compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the $1.7 million increase in mortgage banking income primarily due to higher mortgage origination volume in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same quarter in 2018.

Other operating income for the first nine months of 2019 increased $3.2 million, or 13%, to $27.6 million primarily due to the $1.5 million increase in mortgage banking income primarily due to higher mortgage origination volume, a $918,000 increase in gains on marketable equity securities and $734,000 in interest rate swap income that was earned in the second quarter of 2019.

Other Operating Expense

Other operating expense for the third quarter of 2019 increased $1.2 million, or 7%, to $19.3 million as compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to a $1.9 million, or 17%, increase in the salaries and other personnel expense due to increases in group medical costs, salaries, and employee commissions related to the increase in production volume in the Home Mortgage Lending segment. Additionally, occupancy and data processing expenses increased due to the addition of two new branch locations in the last year and investment in technology to introduce new products and services, however this was partially offset by a one-time technical correction that decreased depreciation expense, which is included in occupancy expense, by $670,000 in 2018. Finally, the Company recorded an $804,000 writedown of the carrying value the Company's minority ownership interest in another mortgage origination business owned by RML in 2018 that was not repeated in 2019.

Other operating expense for the first nine months of 2019 increased $4.7 million, or 9%, to $56.2 million as compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to a $4.2 million, or 13%, increase in the salaries and other personnel expense due to increases in group medical costs, salaries, employee commissions related to the increase in production volume in the Home Mortgage lending segment, and increased contributions to the Company's employee benefit plans. Additionally, occupancy and data processing expenses increased due to the addition of two new branch locations in the last year and investment in technology to introduce new products and services. These increases were partially offset by the $804,000 writedown that occurred in 2018 noted above that was not repeated in 2019.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the third quarter of 2019 increased $899,000, or 80%, as compared to the same period in 2018, and the provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2019 increased $1.2 million, or 37%. The effective tax rate increased to 21% in both the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2019 as compared to 17% in both the three and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2018 due to less tax-exempt income and fewer estimated tax credits as a percentage of pre-tax income in 2019 as compared to 2018.

Loans and Lending Activities

Our loan products include short and medium-term commercial loans, commercial credit lines, construction and real estate loans, and consumer loans. From our inception, we have emphasized commercial, land development and home construction, and commercial real estate lending. This type of lending has generally provided us with market opportunities and higher net interest margins than other types of lending. However, it also involves greater risks, including greater exposure to changes in local economic conditions, than certain other types of lending.

Portfolio loans increased by $52.2 million, or 5%, to $1.037 billion at September 30, 2019 from $984.3 million at December 31, 2018, primarily as a result of increased commercial loans. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in real estate construction loans in the first nine months of 2019. Real estate construction one-to-four family loans, which are mostly residential housing construction loans remained consistent at 4% of portfolio loans at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Information about loans directly exposed to the oil and gas industry

The Company defines "direct exposure" to the oil and gas industry as companies that it has identified as significantly reliant upon activity related to the oil and gas industry, such as oilfield services, lodging, equipment rental, transportation, and other logistic services specific to the industry. The Company estimates that $66.3 million, or approximately 6% of loans as of September 30, 2019 have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry as compared to $62.3 million, or approximately 6% of loans as of December 31, 2018. The Company has no loans to oil producers or exploration companies as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018, but the totals noted include a loan related to construction of an oil rig. The balance of this loan was $11.3 million and $9.6 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, and is classified as an AQR pass loan in both periods. The Company's unfunded commitments to borrowers that have direct exposure to the oil and gas industry were $29.1 million and $32.5 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Analysis of Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company maintains an Allowance to reflect management's assessment of probable, estimable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Allowance is increased by provisions for loan losses and loan recoveries and decreased by loan charge-offs. The size of the Allowance is determined through quarterly assessments of probable estimated losses in the loan portfolio. Our methodology for making such assessments and determining the adequacy of the Allowance includes the following key elements:

•

A specific allocation for impaired loans. Management determines the fair value of the majority of these loans based on the underlying collateral values. This analysis is based upon a specific analysis for each impaired loan, including external appraisals on loans secured by real property, management’s assessment of the current market, recent payment history, and an evaluation of other sources of repayment. In-house evaluations of fair value are used in the impairment analysis in some situations. Inputs to the in-house evaluation process include information about sales of comparable properties in the appropriate markets and changes in tax assessed values. The Company obtains appraisals on real and personal property that secure its loans during the loan origination process in accordance with regulatory guidance and its loan policy. The Company obtains updated appraisals on loans secured by real or personal property based upon its assessment of changes in the current market or particular projects or properties, information from other current appraisals, and other sources of information. Appraisals may be adjusted downward by the Company based on its evaluation of the facts and circumstances on a case by case basis. External appraisals may be discounted when management believes that the absorption period used in the appraisal is unrealistic, when expected liquidation costs exceed those included in the appraisal, or when management’s evaluation of deteriorating market conditions warrants an adjustment. Additionally, the Company may also adjust appraisals in the above circumstances between appraisal dates. The Company uses the information provided in these updated appraisals along with its evaluation of all other information available on a particular property as it assesses the collateral coverage on its performing and nonperforming loans and the impact that may have on the adequacy of its Allowance. The specific allowance for impaired loans, as well as the overall Allowance, may

increase based on the Company’s assessment of updated appraisals. See Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report for further discussion of the Company’s estimation of impaired loans measured at fair value.

When the Company determines that a loss has occurred on an impaired loan, a charge-off equal to the difference between carrying value and fair value is recorded. If a specific allowance is deemed necessary for a loan, and then that loan is partially charged off, the loan remains classified as a nonperforming loan after the charge-off is recognized.

•

A general allocation. The Company has identified segments and classes of loans not considered impaired for purposes of establishing the general allocation allowance. The Company disaggregates the loan portfolio into segments and classes based on its assessment of how different pools of loans with like characteristics in the portfolio behave over time. This determination is based on historical experience and management’s assessment of how current facts and circumstances are expected to affect the loan portfolio.

The Company first disaggregates the loan portfolio into the following eight segments: commercial, real estate construction one-to-four family, real estate construction other, real estate term owner occupied, real estate term non- owner occupied, real estate term other, consumer secured by 1st deeds of trust, and other consumer loans.

After division of the loan portfolio into segments, the Company then further disaggregates each of the segments into classes. The Company has a total of five classes, which are based off of the Company's loan risk grading system known as the Asset Quality Rating (“AQR”) system. The risk ratings are discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2018. There are five loan classes: pass (pass AQR grades, which are grades 1 – 6), special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. There have been no changes to these loan classes in 2019.

After the portfolio has been disaggregated into segments and classes, the Company calculates a general reserve for each segment and class based on the average loss history for each segment and class. The Company utilizes a look-back period of five years in the calculation of average historical loss rates.

After the Company calculates a general allocation using our loss history, the general reserve is then adjusted for qualitative factors by segment and class. Qualitative factors are based on management’s assessment of current trends that may cause losses inherent in the current loan portfolio to differ significantly from historical losses. Some factors that management considers in determining the qualitative adjustment to the general reserve include our concentration of large borrowers; national and local economic trends; general business conditions; trends in local real estate markets; economic, political, and industry specific factors that affect resource development in Alaska; effects of various political activities; peer group data; and internal factors such as underwriting policies and expertise of the Company’s employees.

•

An unallocated reserve. The unallocated portion of the Allowance provides for other credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio that may not have been contemplated in the specific and general components of the Allowance, and it acknowledges the inherent imprecision of all loss prediction models. The unallocated component is reviewed periodically based on trends in credit losses and overall economic conditions. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the unallocated allowance as a percentage of the total Allowance was 11% and 13%, respectively.

The following table sets forth information regarding changes in the Allowance for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In Thousands)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Balance at beginning of period		$20,518			$20,108			$19,519			$21,461

Balance at end of period		$19,137			$20,160			$19,137			$20,160

While management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the Allowance, unforeseen market conditions and other events could result in adjustment to the Allowance, and net income could be significantly affected if circumstances differed substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determination of the Allowance. Moreover, bank regulators frequently monitor banks' loan loss allowances, and if regulators were to determine that the Company’s Allowance is inadequate, they may require the Company to increase the Allowance, which may adversely impact the Company’s net income and financial condition.

Deposits

Deposits are the Company’s primary source of funds. Total deposits increased $122.9 million, or 10%, to $1.351 billion as of September 30, 2019 compared to $1.228 billion as of December 31, 2018. The following table summarizes the Company's composition of deposits as of the periods indicated:



	September 30, 2019				December 31, 2018
(In thousands)	Balance		% of total		Balance		% of total
Demand deposits		$460,327	33	%		$420,988	34	%
Interest-bearing demand	292,198		22	%	248,056		20	%
Savings deposits	228,739		17	%	239,054		19	%
Money market deposits	214,352		16	%	206,717		17	%
Time deposits	155,413		12	%	113,273		9	%
Total deposits		$1,351,029				$1,228,088

The Company’s mix of deposits continues to contribute to a low cost of funds with balances in transaction accounts representing 88% of total deposits at September 30, 2019 and 91% of total deposits at December 31, 2018.

The only deposit category with stated maturity dates is certificates of deposit. At September 30, 2019, the Company had $155.4 million in certificates of deposit as compared to certificates of deposit of $113.3 million at December 31, 2018. At September 30, 2019, $72.0 million, or 46%, of the Company’s certificates of deposits are scheduled to mature over the next 12 months as compared to $57.4 million, or 51%, of total certificates of deposit at December 31, 2018. The aggregate amount of certificates of deposit in amounts of $100,000 and greater at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was $109.8 million and $70.7 million, respectively. The following table sets forth the amount outstanding of deposits in amounts of $100,000 and greater by time remaining until maturity and percentage of total deposits as of September 30, 2019:



	Time Certificates of Deposit
	of $100,000 or More
			Percent of Total Deposits
(In Thousands)	Amount		Percent of Total Deposits
Amounts maturing in:
Three months or less		$7,249	7	%
Over 3 through 6 months	14,287		13	%
Over 6 through 12 months	25,691		23	%
Over 12 months	62,545		57	%
Total		$109,772	100	%

There were no depositors with deposits representing 10% or more of total deposits at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Borrowings

FHLB: Northrim Bank (the "Bank") is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (the "FHLB"). As a member, the Bank is eligible to obtain advances from the FHLB. FHLB advances are dependent on the availability of acceptable collateral such as marketable securities or real estate loans, although all FHLB advances are secured by a blanket pledge of the Bank’s assets. At September 30, 2019, our maximum borrowing line from the FHLB was $721.1 million, approximately 45% of the Bank’s assets, subject to the FHLB’s collateral requirements. The Company has outstanding advances of $8.9 million as of September 30, 2019 which were originated to match fund low income housing projects that qualify for long term fixed interest rates. The first advance is a $2.0 million FHLB Community Investment Program advance which was originated on March 22, 2013. It has an eighteen year term with a 30 year amortization period, which mirrors the term of the term real estate loan made to the borrower, and a fixed rate of 3.12%. The second advance is a $2.2 million FHLB Community Investment Cash Advance Program advance that was originated in the second quarter of 2016. This advance has a 20 year term with a 30 year amortization period, which mirrors the term of the term real estate loan made to the borrower, and a fixed interest rate of 2.61%. The third advance is a $3.0 million FHLB Community Investment Cash Advance Program advance that was originated in the third quarter of 2017. This advance has a 20 year term with a 30 year amortization period and a fixed interest rate of 3.25%, which mirrors the term of the loan made to the borrower. The fourth advance is a $1.0 million FHLB Community Investment Cash Advance Program advance that was originated in the third quarter of 2019. This advance has a 20 year term with a 30 year amortization period and a fixed interest rate of 2.69%, which mirrors the term of the loan made to the borrower. The last advance is a $769,000 FHLB Community Investment Cash Advance Program advance that was originated in the third quarter of 2019. This advance has a 20 year term with a 30 year amortization period and a fixed interest rate of 2.69%, which mirrors the term of the loan made to the borrower. All of these FHLB advances are included in borrowings.

Federal Reserve Bank: The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the "Federal Reserve Bank") is holding $75.7 million of loans as collateral to secure advances made through the discount window on September 30, 2019. There were no discount window advances outstanding at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Other Short-term Borrowings: Securities sold under agreements to repurchase were zero and $34.3 million, respectively, for September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The decrease in these borrowings is primarily the result of the transfer of several customer accounts to a new product that is classified as an interest-bearing demand deposit. The average balance outstanding of securities sold under agreements to repurchase during the three-month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $470,000 and $29.1 million, respectively, and $20.3 million and $28.3 million, respectively, in the nine month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018. The maximum outstanding at any month-end was $864,000 and $32.4 million, respectively, during the same three-month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018 and $36.6 million and $32.4 million, respectively, for the nine-month periods ending September 30, 2019 and 2018. The securities sold under agreements to repurchase are held by the FHLB under the Company’s control.

The Company is subject to provisions under Alaska state law, which generally limit the amount of outstanding debt to 15% of total assets or $240.4 million and $222.6 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had no short-term (original maturity of one year or less) borrowings that exceeded 30% of shareholders’ equity.

Long-term Borrowings. The Company had no long-term borrowing outstanding other than the FHLB advance noted above as of September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company is a single bank holding company and its primary ongoing source of liquidity is from dividends received from the Bank. Such dividends arise from the cash flow and earnings of the Bank. Banking regulations and regulatory authorities may limit the amount of, or require the Bank to obtain certain approvals before paying, dividends to the Company. Given that the Bank currently meets and the Bank anticipates that it will continue to meet, all applicable capital adequacy requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution by regulatory standards, the Company expects to continue to receive dividends from the Bank during the remainder of 2019.

The Company manages its liquidity through its Asset and Liability Committee. Our primary sources of funds are customer deposits and advances from the FHLB. These funds, together with loan repayments, loan sales, other borrowed funds, retained earnings, and equity are used to make loans, to acquire securities and other assets, and to fund deposit flows and continuing operations. The primary sources of demands on our liquidity are customer demands for withdrawal of deposits and borrowers' demands that we advance funds against unfunded lending commitments. Our total unfunded commitments to fund loans and letters of credit at September 30, 2019 were $260.2 million. We do not expect that all of these loans are likely to be fully drawn upon at any one time. Additionally, as noted above, our total deposits at September 30, 2019 were $1.351 billion.

As shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in Part I - Item 1 "Financial Statements" of this report, net cash used by operating activities was $22.3 million for the first nine months of 2019, primarily due to cash provided by proceeds from the sale of loans held for sale being more than offset by cash used in connection with the origination of loans held for sale. Net cash used by investing activities was $34.5 million for the same period, primarily due to increases in loans and purchases of available for sale securities. These uses of cash were only partially offset by proceeds from the maturity of securities available for sale. Net cash provided by financing activities in the same period was $71.5 million, primarily due to an increase in deposits that was only partially offset by a decrease in securities sold under repurchase agreements, the repurchase of common stock, and cash dividends paid to shareholders.

The sources by which we meet the liquidity needs of our customers are current assets and borrowings available through our correspondent banking relationships and our credit lines with the Federal Reserve Bank and the FHLB. At September 30, 2019, our funds available for borrowing under our existing lines of credit were $789.3 million.

Given these sources of liquidity and our expectations for customer demands for cash and for our operating cash needs, we believe our sources of liquidity to be sufficient to fund our ongoing operating activities and our anticipated capital requirements for at least 12 months.

The Company issued 4,256 shares of its common stock in the first nine months of 2019 under the Company's 2017 Stock Option Plan and repurchased 347,676 shares of its common stock under the Company's previously announced repurchase program. At September 30, 2019, the Company had 6,539,796 shares of its common stock outstanding.

Capital Requirements and Ratios

We are subject to minimum capital requirements. Federal banking agencies have adopted regulations establishing minimum requirements for the capital adequacy of banks and bank holding companies. The requirements address both risk-based capital and leverage capital. We believe as of September 30, 2019, that the Company and the Bank met all applicable capital adequacy requirements for a “well-capitalized” institution by regulatory standards.

The table below illustrates the capital requirements in effect in 2019 for the Company and the Bank and the actual capital ratios for each entity that exceed these requirements. Management intends to maintain capital ratios for the Bank in 2019, exceeding the FDIC’s requirements for the “well-capitalized” classification. The capital ratios for the Company exceed those for the Bank primarily because the $10 million trust preferred securities offering completed in the fourth quarter of 2005 is included in the Company’s capital for regulatory purposes, although they are accounted for as a long-term debt in our financial statements. The trust preferred securities are not accounted for on the Bank’s financial statements nor are they included in its capital. As a result, the Company has $10 million more in regulatory capital than the Bank at both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which explains most of the difference in the capital ratios for the two entities.



	Minimum Required Capital	Well-Capitalized	Actual Ratio Company	Actual Ratio Bank


September 30, 2019
Total risk-based capital	8.00%	10.00%	15.82%	13.84%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	6.00%	8.00%	14.57%	12.59%
Common equity tier 1 capital	4.50%	6.50%	13.86%	12.59%
Leverage ratio	4.00%	5.00%	12.68%	10.99%
December 31, 2018
Total risk-based capital	8.00%	10.00%	16.73%	14.30%
Tier 1 risk-based capital	6.00%	8.00%	15.47%	13.05%
Common equity tier 1 capital	4.50%	6.50%	14.73%	13.05%
Leverage ratio	4.00%	5.00%	13.40%	11.28%

See Note 22 of the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a detailed discussion of the capital ratios. The requirements for "well- capitalized" come from the Prompt Corrective Action rules. See Item 1 - Business - Supervision and Regulation in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. These rules apply to the Bank but not to the Company. Under the rules of the Federal Reserve Bank, a bank holding company such as the Company is generally defined to be "well capitalized" if its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio is 8.0% or more and its total risk-based capital ratio is 10.0% or more.

Off-Balance Sheet Items

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. Among the off-balance sheet items entered into in the ordinary course of business are commitments to extend credit, commitments to originate loans held for sale and the issuance of letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the balance sheet. Certain commitments are collateralized. We apply the same credit standards to these commitments as in all of our lending activities and include these commitments in our lending risk evaluations. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s commitments to extend credit and to provide letters of credit which are not reflected on its balance sheet amounted to $260.2 million and $263.8 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company had commitments to originate loans held for sale of $86.0 million and $45.0 million, as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, these total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company has established reserves of $129,000 and $130,000 at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 respectively, for losses related to these commitments that are recorded in other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Capital Expenditures and Commitments

The Company has capital commitments related to planned improvements to the Company's corporate office building. At September 30, 2019 the Company considers these commitments to be immaterial.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our assessment of market risk as of September 30, 2019 indicates that there are no material changes in the quantitative and qualitative disclosures from those in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Our principal executive and financial officers supervised and participated in this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers each concluded that as of September 30, 2019, the disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the periodic reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any of our plans, products, services or procedures will succeed in achieving their intended goals under future conditions.

Changes in Internal Control over Disclosure and Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15-d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that occurred during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

During the normal course of its business, the Company is a party to various debtor-creditor legal actions, disputes, claims, and litigation related to the conduct of its banking business. These include cases filed as a plaintiff in collection and foreclosure cases, and the enforcement of creditors’ rights in bankruptcy proceedings. Management does not expect that the resolution of these matters will have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For information regarding risk factors, please refer to Item 1A in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. These risk factors have not materially changed as of September 30, 2019.
