INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of First Bancshares, I nc.
Merrillville, Indiana
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of First Bancshares, Inc. and
Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the
related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' equity, and
cash flows for the years then ended , and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial
statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America;
this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation
and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material m isstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material m isstatement.
An audit involves perform ing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including
the assessment of the risks of material m isstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due
to fraud or error. In m aking those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
entity's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also
includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant
accounting estimates m ade by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects ,
the financial position of First Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 3 1 , 20 1 4 and 201 3, and
the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounti ng
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

F IRST BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEM ENTS December 31, 2014 and 2013 (Dollars in thousands)
NOTE 1
-
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First
Bancshares, Inc. (the Corporation), its wholly owned subsidiaries, Centier Risk Management LLC and
Centier Bank (the Bank), and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiaries, Centier Nevada 2, LLC; Centier
Investments Nevada 2, Inc.; and Centier Holdings Nevada 2, Inc. Centier Nevada 2, LLC; Centier
Investments Nevada 2, I nc.; and Centier Holdings Nevada 2, Inc. are a Nevada limited l iability
partnership and Nevada corporations that manage a portio n of the Bank's investment portfolio. Centier
Risk Management LLC is an insurance company incorporated in Nevada in August, 2013 for the purpose
of insuring the Corporation and its subsidiaries against certain risks unique to the operations of the
Corporation and for which insurance m ay not be currently available or economically feasible in today's
insurance marketp lace. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
the consolidation.
Nature of Operations: The Corporation's revenues, operating income and assets are primarily from the
banking industry. The accounting and reporting policies of the Corporation conform with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with general practices within the
banking industry. The Bank g rants credit and accepts deposits from its customers in the normal course
of business primarily in the nort hwestern Indiana region. The following is a summary of the more
significant policies.
Subsequent Events: The Corporation has evaluated subsequent events for recognition or disclosure
through March 24, 2015 which is the date that the Corporation's financial state ments were available to be
issued.
Certain Significant Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conform ity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the U nited States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions
based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and the disclosures provided , and future results could differ.
Interest-Bearing Deposits in Banks: I nterest-bearing deposits in banks mature within one year and are
carried at cost.
Securities: Securities are classified as available for sale when they might be sold before maturity.
Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported
separately in stockholders' equity, net of tax.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Prem iums and discounts on
securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage
backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the
trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") at least on a quarterly basis,
and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant. For securities in an unrealized loss
position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition
and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more
likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its
amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire
difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt
securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two
components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement
and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the
amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
Repurchase Agreement Investment: The Bank enters into purchases of securities under agreements to
resell substantially identical securities. These transactions have a custodial bank that acts as agent
between the dealer and the investor. The three parties agree to the acceptable securities and the
margins required on the securities. The dealer delivers the securities and the investor delivers the funds
to the custodial bank. After the custodial bank verifies that the securities are acceptable and have a
market value that exceeds the amount of the agreement by the required margin, the funds are released to
the dealer and the securities are held for the investor. At the maturity of the agreement, the dealer
returns the funds, principal and interest, to the investor and the custodial bank releases the securities
back to the dealer. At December 31, 2014, these agreements are scheduled to m ature within 90 days.
The interest earned on these investments is included in net i nterest income.
M utual Fund I nvestment: The Bank considers m utual fund investments to be trading investments with
changes in fair value included in earnings. I nterest and dividends are i ncluded in net interest income.
Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock: The Bank is a member of the FHLB system. Mem bers are
required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may
invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security, and
periodically evaluated for im pairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock
dividends are reported as income.
Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until
maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs
and the allowance for loan losses. I nterest income is reported on the interest method and includes
amortization of net deferred loan fees and costs over the loan term, without anticipating prepayments.
Interest income is not reported when full loan repayment is in doubt, typically when the loan is impaired or
payments are past due over 90 days ( 180 days for residential). Past due status is based on the
contractual terms of the loan. All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is
reversed against interest income. I nterest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or
cost- recovery method , until q ualifying for return to accrual. Loans are retu rned to accrual status when all
the principal and interest a mounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are
reasonably assured.
The Corporation has identified the fo llowing loan segments; commercial, residential, and installment
loans. Commercial loans are subject to adverse market conditions which may impact the borrower's
ability to m ake repayments on the loan or could cause a decline in the value of the collateral that secures
the loan. Residential and installment loans are subject to adverse em ployment conditions in the local
economy which could increase default rates on loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred
credit losses, increased by the provision for loan losses and decreased by charge-offs less recoveries.
M anagement estimates the allowance balance required based on past loan loss experience, known and
inherent risks in the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral
values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific
loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management's judgment, should be
charged-off. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the

allowance.
Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans
that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-impaired loans and is
based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
Loan i m pairment is reported when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. Impairment is
evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential first mortgage loans
secured by one-to-four fam ily residences, residential construction loans, automobile, home equity and
second mortgage loans and on an individual loan basis for commercial loans and mortgage loans
secured by other properties.
If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so that the loan is reported, net, at the present
value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if
repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Loans are evaluated for i mpai rment when payments are
delayed, typically 90 days or more, or when it is probable that all principal and interest amounts will not
be collected according to the original terms of the loan.
Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value,
and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that
experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired.
Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case- by-case
basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including
the length of the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to
the principal and interest owed.
Loans, for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial
diff iculties, are considered troubled debt restructurings and classified as im paired. Troubled debt
restructurings are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective
rate at inception or at discounted collateral value for collateral based loans.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted
for current factors. The historical loss experience is determ ined by portfolio segment and is based on the
actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the trailing twenty-four month period . This actual
loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each
portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: changes in lending
policies, procedures, and practices, including underwriting standards and collection and charge-off and
recovery practices; international, national, regional and local economic trends and conditions; nature and
volume of loans; changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other staff;
levels of and severity of past due loans, nonaccrual loans, and classified loans; quality of the
Corporation's loan review system; levels of concentrations of credit; and effects of changes in other
external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements.
The process of assessing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is necessarily subjective.
Further, and particularly in times of economic downturns, it is reasonably possible that future credit losses
may exceed historical loss levels and may also exceed management's current estimates of incurred
credit losses inherent within the loan portfolio. As such, there can be no assurance that future charge-

offs wil l not exceed management' s current estimates of what constitutes a reasonable allowance for
credit losses.
Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fai r value, as determined by outstanding com mitments from
investors. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings.
Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights retained. The carrying value of
mortgage loans sold is reduced by the amount allocated to the servicing right. Gains and losses on sales
of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selli ng price and the carrying value of the
related loan sold.
Concentration of Credit Risk: The Bank is a full service bank headquartered in Merri llville, Indiana with
49 branch offices located in Lake, Porter, LaPorte, Marshall, St. Joseph, Allen , Hamilton, Elkhart and
Tippecanoe Counties. The Bank makes a variety of loans including real estate mortgage, consumer and
com mercial loans. Substantially all of the Bank's loans are made within the basic eight county trade
areas. The loan portfolios are well diversified and substantially all loans are secured by specific items of
collateral including business assets, consumer assets and real estate.
Premises and Eq uipment: Land is carried at cost. Asset cost is reported net of accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation and amortization expense is calculated by the straight-line method over the
useful lives of the related assets ranging from three years to forty years, or for leasehold improvements
over the term of the lease, if less. These assets are reviewed for i m pairment when events indicate the
carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Other Real Estate: Real estate properties acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are initially
recorded at fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, which becomes the new cost basis.
Costs relating to development and i mprovement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to
holding the properties are expensed. Valuations are periodically performed by management, and a
valuation a llowance i s established by means of a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property
exceeds its estimated fair value less sell ing costs.
Loan Servicing Rights: Servicing rights are recognized separately when they are acquired through sales
of loans. When mortgage loans are sold, servicing rights are initially recorded at fai r value with the
i ncome statement effect recorded in net gains (losses) on sales of loans held for sale. Fair value is
based on m arket prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts. All classes of servicing assets are
subsequently measured usi ng the amortization method which requires servicing rights to be amortized
into n on-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income
of the underlying loans.
Impairment is evaluated based on the fair value of the rights, using g roupings of the underlying loans as
to interest rates and prepayment characteristics. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation
allowance. The fair values of servicing rights are subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes
in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. There was no valuation
allowance at December 31, 2014 and 2013. M ortgage servicing rights had a fair value of $4.2 m il lion and
$4.1 million as of Decem ber 31, 2014 and 2013.

Servicing fees, late fees and ancillary fees related to loan servicing are not m aterial. The carrying value
of loan servicing rights was $2,326 and $1,898 at Decem ber 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and are
included in accrued interest receivable and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.
Loans serviced for others, principally the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), are not
included in loans on the consolidated balance sheets and were $489,258 and $456,037 at year end 2014
and 2013.
Bank Owned Life Insurance: The Bank has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives.
Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at
the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts
due that are probable at settlement.
Income Taxes: Income tax expense is the total of the current year income tax due or refundable and the
change in deferred tax assets and l iabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the expected
future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets
and l iabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.
A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is " more likely than not" that the tax position would be
sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized
is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on an exam ination.
For tax positions not meeting the " more likely than not" test, no tax benefit is recorded.
The Corporation recognizes interest and I or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax
expense.
Derivatives: The Corporation enters into various stand-alone derivative contracts to provide derivative
products to customers which are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded as other
noninterest income. The Corporation is exposed to losses if a counterparty fails to make its payments
under a contract in which the Corporation is in the net receiving position. At December 31, 2014, the
Corporation anticipates that the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the
agreements. In addition, the Corporation obtains collateral above certain thresholds of the fair value of its
hedges for each counterparty based upon their credit standing . All of the contracts to which the
Corporation is a party settle monthly, quarterly or sem iannually. Further, the Corporation has netting
agreements with the dealers with which it does business.
Cash Flow Reporting: Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash and due from banks, short-term
interest-bearing deposits in banks and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan
and deposit transactions, federal funds purchased and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
Retirement P lans: Employee 401(k) and profit sharing plan expense is the amount of matching and other
discretionary contributions. Deferred compensation plan expense allocates the benefits over years of
service.
Associate Stock Ownership Plan (ASOP): The cost of shares issued to the ASOP, but not yet allocated
to participants, is shown as a reduction of shareholders' equity. Compensation expense is based on the
market price of shares as they are com m itted to be released to participant accounts. Dividends on
allocated ASOP shares reduce retained earnings; dividends on unearned ASOP shares reduce any

related debt and accrued i nterest. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no unearned ASOP
shares.
Earnings P er Share: Basic earn ings per share is based on the weighted average com mon shares
outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding was 110,158 and 108,578
for 2014 and 2013. Diluted earnings per share further assumes issue of any dilutive potential common
shares. The Corporation has no dilutive potential common shares, therefore no diluted earnings per
share is reported for 2014 or 2013.
Comprehensive Income (Loss): Com prehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other
com prehensive income (loss). Other com prehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses
on securities available for sale, net of tax, which are also recognized as separate components of
stockholders' equ ity.
F i nancial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk: The Corporation, in the normal course of business,
makes com mitments to extend credit which are not reflected in the financial statements. See Note 15 for
a summary of these com m itments.
Transfers of Financial Assets: Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales, when control over
the assets has been relinquished. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when the
assets have been isolated from the Corporation, the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that
constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the
Corporation does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to
repurchase them before their maturity.
Long-Term Assets: P rem ises and equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment
when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows.
If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course
of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of
loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there now are such matters that will
have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Dividend Restriction: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the
dividends paid by the Bank to the Corporation or by the Corporation to its shareholders.
Fair Values of F inancial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant
market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. F air value
estimates involve uncertainties and m atters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk,
prepayments, and other fa ctors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes
in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. The fair value estimates of
existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments do not include the value of anticipated future
business or the values of assets and liabilities not considered financial instruments.
Reclassifications: Some items in the prior year financial statements were reclassified to conform to the
current presentation.

Management does not intend to sell these securities, and having reviewed the Corporation's liquidity
needs and c ontractual and regulatory obligations, has c onc luded it is not more likely than not that the
sec urities will be required to be sold prior to recovery of amortized c ost. Unrealized losses on the
residential m ortgage bac ked and state and munic ipal obligations have not been recognized into income
bec ause the issuers are of high c redit quality, the decline in fair value is largely due to c hanges in interest
rates and is expected to recover as the bonds approac h maturity.
The Trust Preferred Sec urities (TPS) owned by the Corporation at December 31, 2013 are primarily
mezzanine c lasses of collateralized debt obligations. In the priority of repayment, mezzanine c lasses
rank below senior c lasses of the c ollatera lized debt obligations. The source of repayment for eac h TPS is
its separate pool of unsec ured debt obligations issued by financial institutions and insurance companies
(the c ollateral issuers). Economic c onditions have eroded the financial strength of the c ollateral issuers.
Some issuers have defaulted while others have elected to exercise their rights to defer interest payments
on the debt for up to twenty consecutive quarters. These defaults and deferrals have reduced the
amount of c ash available to pay interest and princ ipal on the senior and mezzanine TPS. Management
trac ks default and deferral activity in the collateral pools and uses that and other data, inc luding
measures of the c urrent and prospective financial c ondition of the c ollateral issuers, to estimate the
present value of expected future cash flows available to repay princ ipal and interest on the TPS
sec urities. The difference between the present value of expected future cash flows, determ ined using the
yield inherent in the sec urity at purc hase, and the amortized cost of eac h TPS is recorded as OTTI .
Management obtains independent third party estimates of the fair value, or in some c ases, uses
independent estimates of the fair value of similar TPS, to establish the fair value of each TPS. The
difference between the amortized cost, net of OTTI , and the fair value of each TPS is recorded in other
comprehensive income (loss).

The troubled debt restructurings desc ribed above for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2013 did
not have an i m pact on the allowance for loan losses or result in c harge-offs as the modified loans had
allowance allocations in excess of any conc ession amounts previously assigned.
A loan is c onsidered to be in payment default once it is 90 days c ontractually past due under the modified
terms.
T here were no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted during 2014 and 2013.
In order to determine whether a borrower is experienc ing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of
the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future
without the mod ification. This evaluation is performed under the corporation's internal underwriting policy.

Credit Quality Indicators:
The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of
borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information , historical payment experience,
credit documentation, public information , and current economic trends, among other factors. All
commercial are loans evaluated individually at origination by classifying the loans as to credit risk. On a
go-forward basis all com mercial relationships greater than $1,000 are subject to an annual review
process and loans between $ 250 and $1,000 are also subjected to review on a random sampling basis.
The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Watch. Loans classified as watch may demonstrate early indicators of increasing credit risk.
The exposure is acceptable, but should include a clear plan for preventing deterioration .
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves
management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in
deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some
future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net
worth and paying capacity of the obliger or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified
have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are
characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies
are not corrected .
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as
substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in
ful l, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and
improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described
process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are included in groups of
homogeneous loans.
Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:
Pass
Watch

NOTE 14 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain directors and executive officers of the Corporation and the Bank, as well as companies and
partnerships with which they are affiliated, are customers of the Bank in the ordinary course of business.
At December 3 1 , 20 1 4 and 201 3, the outstanding loans to directors, executive officers and their interests
amounted to $33,042 and $32,51 5.
In addition, there are related parties that have ownership interests in certain assets which are leased on a
long-term basis by the Bank. These lease commitments are included in Note 1 5. These include two of
the Bank's branch buildings and land adjacent to one branch. The Bank entered into current lease
arrangements in December of 2005, October of 201 2 and March of 20 1 3. The terms of the leases are
ten years, five years and five years, respectively, with options to renew, and total monthly payments
(which adjust annually) of $28 as of year end 201 4.
The Bank also entered into a lease for the Operations Center i n March of 2008 with certain related
parties. The term of this lease is ten years, with an option to renew for an additional four periods of ten
years each and monthly payments (which will adjust after five years) of $20 1 as of year end 2014. The
aggregate rent expense under all related party leases was $2, 750 in 20 1 4 and $2 ,586 in 20 1 3.
NOTE 1 5 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Bank leases twenty-six of its branch offices, five ATM locations and four other properties under lease
agreements which expire between May 3 1 , 20 1 5 and June 30, 2023, and require various minimum
annual rentals. The total future minimum rental commitments at Decem ber 3 1 , 2014, including the
related party leases reported above, u nder the leases are $1 1 ,892 and are payable as follows: 201 5 $3,68 1 ; 20 1 6 - $3, 1 77; 201 7 - $3,000; 20 1 8 - $1 , 598; 20 1 9 - $232 and thereafter $204. The total rental
expense amounted to $3, 7 1 9 and $3, 7 1 4 for the years ended December 3 1 , 201 4 and 20 1 3.
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business
to meet financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to make
loans, revolving lines of credit and standby letters of credit. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the
event of nonperformance by the other party for these financial instruments is represented by the
contractual amount of the com m itments. The Bank follows the same credit policy to make such
com mitments as it uses for on-balance-sheet items.

Since many commitments to make loans expire without being used , the amount does not necessarily
represent future cash commitments. Collateral obtained upon exercise of the commitment is determined
using management's credit evaluation of the borrower and may include real estate, vehicles, business
assets, deposits, and other items. Risk of loss is limited to the contractual amount of the financial
instruments.
There are various contingent liabi lities that are not reflected in the financial statements, including claims
and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. I n the opinion of management, the ultimate
disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the Corporation's financial
condition or results of operations.
NOTE 16 · FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit
price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction
between market participants on the measurement date. The standard describes three levels of i nputs
that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 : Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the
entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as q uoted prices for
similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are
observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant u nobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about
the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Corporation used the following methods and assumptions to estimate fair value:
M utual Fund Investment: The fair value of mutual fund investments are determined by obtaining quoted
prices on nationally recognized security exchanges (Level 1 inputs).
Securities: The fair values of securities available for sale, other than trust preferred securities, are
determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or
matrix pricing, which is a m athematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities
without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the
securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

FAIR VALUE (Continued}
The Corporation's investment in trust preferred securities (TPS) which were issued by financial
institutions and insurance companies were historically priced using Level 2 inputs. However, the decline
in the level of market activity and observable inputs in this class of investments has been significant and
resulted in unreliable external pricing. Broker pricing and bid/ask spreads, when available, vary widely
and the once active market has become comparatively inactive. Consequently, while fair value estimates
derived from Level 2 sources were considered by management in estimating the fair value of the TPS
investments, management also relied upon independent third party estimates for fair value based upon
Level 3 inputs and considers these securities Level 3 valued assets.
The fair value of trust preferred securities (TPS) for the year ended 201 3 was determined using
independent third party information and an internal model developed by the Corporation. For 201 3 , four
independent third parties provided fair market values for TPS. Three of the parties provided fair market
value estimates for all of the TPS using Level 2 inputs. The other party provided fair market value
estimates for all TPS using Level 3 inputs. The Level 3 fair value estimates were based on a discounted
cash flow analysis which included considerations for deferrals within each collateral pool, expectations for
future losses, and the util ization of discount rates that represented market rates inclusive of liquidity
discounts. Management used the Level 3 fair market value estimates and a matrix model developed by
the Corporation to estimate a Level 3 fair value for the rem aining portion of the TPS portfolio. The matrix
model used the Level 3 fa ir market values provided by the independent third party as reference prices
and adjusted for differences in ratings, collateral coverage, expectations of loss and yield to estimate
Level 3 fair market values for the remaining portion of the TPS portfolio.
The Level 2 and Level 3 fai r market value estimates were each weighted n inety percent and ten percent,
respectively for 20 1 3. The assumptions used to determine fa ir value estimates for TPS are subject to
significant change in the near term as new information becomes known about the ability of the underlying
debt issuers to repay their debt obligations collateralizing the TPS, and as market conditions and potential
i nvestor i nterest in these types of long-term investments change.
Derivatives: The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on derivative valuation models
using market data inputs as of the valuation date. (Level 2 ).
Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value.
I mpaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses.
For collateral dependent loans, fair value is com monly based on recent real estate appraisals. These
appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable
sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the
independent appraisers to adjust for d ifferences between the com parable sales and income data
available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the
inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral m ay be valued using an appraisal, net book

FAIR VALUE (Continued)
value per the borrower's financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on
management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and
management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business, resulting in a Level 3 fair
value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and
adjusted accordingly.
Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at
fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently
accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on
recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination
of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in
the appraisal process by the i ndependent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable
sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually sig nificant and typically result in a Level 3
classification of the inputs for determ in ing fair value.
Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate owned are performed by certified
general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential
properties) whose qualifications and l icenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once
received, a mem ber of the Credit Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the
appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as
recent market data or industry-wide statistics. After the review of the appraisal, the Company typically
applies a discount for liquidation and other considerations.

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value not previously described are as follows:
Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and
payable, repurchase agreement investments, mutual fund investments, demand deposits, short-term debt,
and variable rate loans or deposits that reprice frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for
variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted
cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk without considering
widening credit spreads due to market illiquidity. Fair value of debt is based on current rates for similar
financing. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its
transferability. The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material and, therefore, is not
presented in the above table.
NOTE 1 7 · REGULATORY MATTERS
The Corporation and Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking
agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, for the Bank, prompt corrective action regulations involve
quantitative measures of assets, l iabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under
regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative
judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors, and the regulators can
lower classifications in certain cases. Fai lure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory
action that could have a direct material effect on the consolidated financial statements. Management
believes as of December 31 , 2014, the Corporation and the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements
to which they are subject.

REGU LATORY MATTERS (continued)
The Bank's prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized,
adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized ,
although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If only adequately capitalized,
regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are
limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are requ ired.

At year-end 20 1 4 and 20 1 3, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL I NSTRUMENTS
The Corporation enters into derivative instruments for the benefit of its customers. The notional amounts
of these customer derivative instruments and the offsetting counterparty derivative instruments were
$223.9 m illion and $223.9 m il lion , respectively, at December 3 1 , 201 4, and 1 93.8 million and $1 93.8
million, respectively, at December 3 1 , 201 3. These d erivative contracts do not qualify for hedge
accounting. These instruments include interest rate swaps. Commonly, the Corporation will economically
hedge significant exposures related to these derivative contracts entered into for the benefit of customers
by entering into offsetting contracts with approved, reputable, independent counterparties with
substantially match ing terms.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRU MENTS (continued)
Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts. The
Corporation's exposure is limited to the replacement value of the contracts rather than the notional,
principal or contract amounts. There are provisions in our agreements with the counterparties that allow
for certain unsecured credit exposure up to an agreed threshold. Exposures in excess of the agreed
thresholds are collateralized. In addition, the Corporation minimizes credit risk through credit approvals,
limits, and monitoring procedures.
