Forward Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are included in this statement for purposes of these safe harbor provisions. Forward looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to, changes in: interest rates, general economic conditions, monetary and fiscal policy, the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios, demand for loan products, fluctuation in the value of collateral securing our loan portfolio, deposit flows, competition, demand for financial services in our market area, and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements. Further information concerning our business, including additional factors that could materially affect our financial results, is included in our filings with the SEC.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

As used in these notes, as well as in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, references to “Isabella,” the “Corporation”, “we,” “our,” “us,” and similar terms refer to the consolidated entity consisting of Isabella Bank Corporation and its subsidiaries. Isabella Bank Corporation refers solely to the parent holding company, and Isabella Bank or the “Bank” refer to Isabella Bank Corporation’s subsidiary, Isabella Bank.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. For further information, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Our accounting policies are materially the same as those discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts reported in the interim 2016 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2017 presentation.

Note 2 – Computation of Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share represents income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued. Potential common shares that may be issued relate solely to outstanding shares in the Directors Plan.



	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Average number of common shares outstanding for basic calculation	7,841,822		7,819,080		7,834,523		7,807,187
Average potential effect of common shares in the Directors Plan (1)	190,528		183,842		191,028		184,152

Note 3 – Accounting Standards Updates

Pending Accounting Standards Updates

ASU No. 2017-09: “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”

In May 2017, ASU No. 2017-09 provided guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in this updated. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all of the following are met:

1. The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification.

Table of Contents

2. The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

3. The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified.

The new authoritative guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our operating results or financial statement disclosures.

As the auction rate money market preferred and preferred stocks have continual call dates, they are not reported by a specific maturity group. Because of their variable monthly payments, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations are not reported by a specific maturity group.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we conducted an analysis to determine whether any AFS securities currently in an unrealized loss position should be other-than-temporarily impaired. Such analyses considered, among other factors, the following criteria:


•	Has the value of the investment declined more than what is deemed to be reasonable based on a risk and maturity adjusted discount rate?


•	Is the investment credit rating below investment grade?


•	Is it probable the issuer will be unable to pay the amount when due?


•	Is it more likely than not that we will have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis?


•	Has the duration of the investment been extended?

During the fourth quarter of 2016, we identified one municipal bond as other-than-temporarily impaired. While management estimated the OTTI to be realized, we also engaged the services of an independent investment valuation firm to estimate the

Table of Contents

amount of impairment as of December 31, 2016. The valuation calculated the estimated market value utilizing two different approaches:

1) Market - Appraisal and Comparable Investments

2) Income - Discounted Cash Flow Method

The two methods were then weighted, with a higher weighting applied to the Market approach, to determine the estimated impairment. As a result of this analysis, we recognized an OTTI of $770 in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2016. Based on analysis of this bond, there was no additional OTTI recognized as of June 30, 2017.

Based on our analyses, the fact that we have asserted that we do not have the intent to sell AFS securities in an unrealized loss position, and considering it is unlikely that we will have to sell any AFS securities in an unrealized loss position before recovery of their cost basis, we do not believe that the values of any other AFS securities are other-than-temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016, with the exception of the one municipal bond discussed above.

Note 5 – Loans and ALLL

We grant commercial, agricultural, residential real estate, and consumer loans to customers situated primarily in Clare, Gratiot, Isabella, Mecosta, Midland, Montcalm, and Saginaw counties in Michigan. The ability of the borrowers to honor their repayment obligations is often dependent upon the real estate, agricultural, manufacturing, retail, gaming, tourism, higher education, and general economic conditions of this region. Substantially all of our consumer and residential real estate loans are secured by various items of property, while commercial loans are secured primarily by real estate, business assets, and personal guarantees. A portion of loans are unsecured.

Loans that we have the intent and ability to hold in our portfolio are reported at their outstanding principal balance adjusted for any charge-offs, the ALLL, and any deferred fees or costs. Interest income is accrued over the term of the loan based on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are capitalized and recognized as a component of interest income over the term of the loan using the level yield method.

The accrual of interest on commercial, agricultural, and residential real estate loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days or more past due unless the credit is well-secured and in the process of collection. Upon transferring the loans to nonaccrual status, we perform an evaluation to determine the net realizable value of the underlying collateral. This evaluation is used to help determine if any charge-offs are necessary. Consumer loans are typically charged-off no later than 180 days past due. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

For loans that are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off, all interest accrued in the current calendar year, but not collected, is reversed against interest income while interest accrued in prior calendar years, but not collected, is charged against the ALLL. Loans may be returned to accrual status after six months of continuous performance.

Commercial and agricultural loans include loans for commercial real estate, commercial operating loans, advances to mortgage brokers, farmland and agricultural production, and states and political subdivisions. Repayment of these loans is dependent upon the successful operation and management of a business. We minimize our risk by limiting the amount of direct credit exposure to any one borrower to $15,000. Borrowers with direct credit needs of more than $15,000 are serviced through the use of loan participations with other commercial banks. Commercial and agricultural real estate loans commonly require loan-to-value limits of 80% or less. Depending upon the type of loan, past credit history, and current operating results, we may require the borrower to pledge accounts receivable, inventory, and property and equipment. Personal guarantees are generally required from the owners of closely held corporations, partnerships, and sole proprietorships. In addition, we require annual financial statements, prepare cash flow analyses, and review credit reports.

We entered into a mortgage purchase program in 2016 with a financial institution where we participate in advances to mortgage brokers ("advances"). The mortgage brokers originate residential mortgage loans with the intent to sell them on the secondary market. We participate in the advance to the mortgage broker, which is secured by the underlying mortgage loan, until it is ultimately sold on the secondary market. As such, the average life of each participated advance is approximately 20-30 days. Funds from the sale of the loan are used to payoff our participation in the advance to the mortgage broker. We classify these advances as commercial loans and include the outstanding balance in commercial loans on our balance sheet. Under the participation agreement, we committed to a maximum outstanding aggregate amount of $30,000. The difference between our outstanding balances and the maximum outstanding aggregate amount is classified as “Unfunded commitments under lines of credit” in the “Contractual Obligations and Loan Commitments” section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this report.

Table of Contents

We offer adjustable rate mortgages, construction loans, and fixed rate residential real estate loans which have amortization periods up to a maximum of 30 years. We consider the anticipated direction of interest rates, balance sheet duration, the sensitivity of our balance sheet to changes in interest rates, and overall loan demand to determine whether or not to sell fixed rate loans to Freddie Mac.

Our lending policies generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on residential real estate loans to 97% of the lower of the appraised value of the property or the purchase price, with the condition that private mortgage insurance is required on loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%.

Underwriting criteria for originated residential real estate loans include:


•	Evaluation of the borrower’s ability to make monthly payments.


•	Evaluation of the value of the property securing the loan.


•	Ensuring the payment of principal, interest, taxes, and hazard insurance does not exceed 28% of a borrower’s gross income.


•	Ensuring all debt servicing does not exceed 36% of income.


•	Verification of acceptable credit reports.


•	Verification of employment, income, and financial information.

Appraisals are performed by independent appraisers and reviewed for appropriateness. All originated mortgage loan requests are reviewed by our mortgage loan committee or through a secondary market underwriting system; loans in excess of $500 require the approval of our Internal Loan Committee, the Executive Loan Committee, the Board of Directors’ Loan Committee, or the Board of Directors.

Consumer loans include secured and unsecured personal loans. Loans are amortized for a period of up to 12 years based on the age and value of the underlying collateral. The underwriting emphasis is on a borrower’s perceived intent and ability to pay rather than collateral value. No consumer loans are sold to the secondary market.

The ALLL is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the ALLL when we believe the uncollectability of the loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALLL.

The appropriateness of the ALLL is evaluated on a quarterly basis and is based upon a periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The primary factors behind the determination of the level of the ALLL are specific allocations for impaired loans, historical loss percentages, as well as unallocated components. Specific allocations for impaired loans are primarily determined based on the difference between the loan’s outstanding balance and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell. Historical loss allocations are calculated at the loan class and segment levels based on a migration analysis of the loan portfolio, with the exception of advances to mortgage brokers, over the preceding five years. With no historical losses on advances to mortgage brokers, there is no allocation in the commercial segment displayed in the following tables based on historical loss factors. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

A summary of changes in the ALLL and the recorded investment in loans by segments follows:

Table of Contents

Internally assigned credit risk ratings are reviewed, at a minimum, when loans are renewed or when management has knowledge of improvements or deterioration of the credit quality of individual credits. Descriptions of the internally assigned credit risk ratings for commercial and agricultural loans are as follows:

1. EXCELLENT – Substantially Risk Free

Credit has strong financial condition and solid earnings history, characterized by:


•	High liquidity, strong cash flow, low leverage.


•	Unquestioned ability to meet all obligations when due.


•	Experienced management, with management succession in place.


•	Secured by cash.

2. HIGH QUALITY – Limited Risk

Credit with sound financial condition and a positive trend in earnings supplemented by:


•	Favorable liquidity and leverage ratios.


•	Ability to meet all obligations when due.


•	Management with successful track record.


•	Steady and satisfactory earnings history.


•	If loan is secured, collateral is of high quality and readily marketable.


•	Access to alternative financing.


•	Well defined primary and secondary source of repayment.


•	If supported by guaranty, the financial strength and liquidity of the guarantor(s) are clearly evident.

3. HIGH SATISFACTORY – Reasonable Risk

Credit with satisfactory financial condition and further characterized by:


•	Working capital adequate to support operations.


•	Cash flow sufficient to pay debts as scheduled.


•	Management experience and depth appear favorable.


•	Loan performing according to terms.


•	If loan is secured, collateral is acceptable and loan is fully protected.

4. LOW SATISFACTORY – Acceptable Risk

Credit with bankable risks, although some signs of weaknesses are shown:


•	Would include most start-up businesses.


•	Occasional instances of trade slowness or repayment delinquency – may have been 10-30 days slow within the past year.


•	Management’s abilities are apparent, yet unproven.


•	Weakness in primary source of repayment with adequate secondary source of repayment.


•	Loan structure generally in accordance with policy.


•	If secured, loan collateral coverage is marginal.


•	Adequate cash flow to service debt, but coverage is low.

To be classified as less than satisfactory, only one of the following criteria must be met.

5. SPECIAL MENTION – Criticized

Credit constitutes an undue and unwarranted credit risk but not to the point of justifying a classification of substandard. The credit risk may be relatively minor yet constitute an unwarranted risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific loan:


•	Downward trend in sales, profit levels, and margins.


•	Impaired working capital position.


•	Cash flow is strained in order to meet debt repayment.


•	Loan delinquency (30-60 days) and overdrafts may occur.


•	Shrinking equity cushion.


•	Diminishing primary source of repayment and questionable secondary source.

Table of Contents


•	Management abilities are questionable.


•	Weak industry conditions.


•	Litigation pending against the borrower.


•	Collateral or guaranty offers limited protection.


•	Negative debt service coverage, however the credit is well collateralized and payments are current.

6. SUBSTANDARD – Classified

Credit where the borrower’s current net worth, paying capacity, and value of the collateral pledged is inadequate. There is a distinct possibility that we will implement collection procedures if the loan deficiencies are not corrected. In addition, the following characteristics may apply:


•	Sustained losses have severely eroded the equity and cash flow.


•	Deteriorating liquidity.


•	Serious management problems or internal fraud.


•	Original repayment terms liberalized.


•	Likelihood of bankruptcy.


•	Inability to access other funding sources.


•	Reliance on secondary source of repayment.


•	Litigation filed against borrower.


•	Collateral provides little or no value.


•	Requires excessive attention of the loan officer.


•	Borrower is uncooperative with loan officer.

7. VULNERABLE – Classified

Credit is considered “Substandard” and warrants placing on nonaccrual status. Risk of loss is being evaluated and exit strategy options are under review. Other characteristics that may apply:


•	Insufficient cash flow to service debt.


•	Minimal or no payments being received.


•	Limited options available to avoid the collection process.


•	Transition status, expect action will take place to collect loan without immediate progress being made.

8. DOUBTFUL – Workout

Credit has all the weaknesses inherent in a “Substandard” loan with the added characteristic that collection and/or liquidation is pending. The possibility of a loss is extremely high, but its classification as a loss is deferred until liquidation procedures are completed, or reasonably estimable. Other characteristics that may apply:


•	Normal operations are severely diminished or have ceased.


•	Seriously impaired cash flow.


•	Original repayment terms materially altered.


•	Secondary source of repayment is inadequate.


•	Survivability as a “going concern” is impossible.


•	Collection process has begun.


•	Bankruptcy petition has been filed.


•	Judgments have been filed.


•	Portion of the loan balance has been charged-off.

Impaired Loans

Loans may be classified as impaired if they meet one or more of the following criteria:


1.	There has been a charge-off of its principal balance (in whole or in part);


2.	The loan has been classified as a TDR; or


3.	The loan is in nonaccrual status.

Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and agricultural loans by comparing the loan’s outstanding balance to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for residential real estate and consumer loans by comparing the loan’s unpaid principal balance to the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate.

Table of Contents

We do not recognize interest income on impaired loans in nonaccrual status. For impaired loans not classified as nonaccrual, interest income is recognized daily, as earned, according to the terms of the loan agreement and the principal amount outstanding.

We had committed to advance $124 and $117 in connection with impaired loans, which include TDRs, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Loan modifications are considered to be TDRs when the modification includes terms outside of normal lending practices to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties.

Typical concessions granted include, but are not limited to:

•Agreeing to interest rates below prevailing market rates for debt with similar risk characteristics.

•Extending the amortization period beyond typical lending guidelines for loans with similar risk characteristics.

•Forgiving principal.

•Forgiving accrued interest.

To determine if a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, factors we consider include:


•	The borrower is currently in default on any of their debt.


•	The borrower would likely default on any of their debt if the concession was not granted.


•	The borrower’s cash flow was insufficient to service all of their debt if the concession was not granted.


•	The borrower has declared, or is in the process of declaring, bankruptcy.


•	The borrower is unlikely to continue as a going concern (if the entity is a business).

We did not restructure any loans by forgiving principal or accrued interest in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 or 2016.

Based on our historical loss experience, losses associated with TDRs are not significantly different than other impaired loans within the same loan segment. As such, TDRs, including TDRs that have been modified in the past 12 months that subsequently defaulted, are analyzed in the same manner as other impaired loans within their respective loan segment.

We had no loans that defaulted in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 which were modified within 12 months prior to the default date.

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase are classified as secured borrowings and are reflected at the amount of cash received in connection with the transaction. The securities underlying the agreements have a carrying value and a fair value of $49,969 and $60,918 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Such securities remain under our control. We may be required to provide additional collateral based on the fair value of underlying securities.

Securities sold under repurchase agreements without stated maturity dates, federal funds purchased, and FRB Discount Window advances generally mature within one to four days from the transaction date.

AFS securities pledged to repurchase agreements are monitored to ensure the appropriate level is collateralized. In the event of maturities, calls, significant principal repayments, or significant decline in market values, we have adequate levels of AFS securities to pledge to satisfy required collateral.

As of June 30, 2017, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $119,462, based on assets pledged as collateral. We had no investment securities that are restricted to be pledged for specific purposes.

Derivative Instruments

We enter into interest rate swaps to manage exposure to interest rate risk and variability in cash flows. The interest rate swaps, associated with our variable rate borrowings, are designated upon inception as cash flow hedges of forecasted interest payments. We enter into LIBOR-based interest rate swaps that involve the receipt of variable amounts in exchange for fixed rate payments, in effect converting variable rate debt to fixed rate debt.

Cash flow hedges are assessed for effectiveness using regression analysis. The effective portion of changes in fair value are recorded in OCI and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the related interest on the variable rate borrowings affects earnings. In the event that a portion of the changes in fair value were determined to be ineffective, the ineffective amount would be recorded in earnings.

Derivatives contain an element of credit risk which arises from the possibility that we will incur a loss as a result of a counterparty failing to meet its contractual obligations. Credit risk is minimized through counterparty collateral, transaction limits and monitoring procedures. We also manage dealer credit risk by entering into interest rate derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, the use of ISDA master agreements and counterparties limits. We do not anticipate any losses from failure of interest rate derivative counterparties to honor their obligations.

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts of cash and demand deposits due from banks and interest bearing balances due from banks approximate fair values. As such, we classify cash and cash equivalents as Level 1.

AFS securities: AFS securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Level 1 fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments. Level 2 fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss and liquidity assumptions. The values for Level 1 and Level 2 investment securities are generally obtained from an independent third party. On a quarterly basis, we compare the values provided to alternative pricing sources.

Mortgage loans AFS: Mortgage loans AFS are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of mortgage loans AFS are based on the price secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. As such, we classify mortgage loans AFS subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Loans: For variable rate loans with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for fixed rate loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The resulting amounts are adjusted to estimate the effect of changes in the credit quality of borrowers since the loans were originated. As such, we classify loans as Level 3 assets.

We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time-to-time, loans are classified as impaired and a specific allowance for loan losses may be established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will be significantly different than the contractual terms of the original loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as impaired, we measure the estimated impairment. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral, less cost to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.

We review the net realizable values of the underlying collateral for collateral dependent impaired loans on at least a quarterly basis for all loan types. To determine the collateral value, we utilize independent appraisals, broker price opinions, or internal evaluations. We review these valuations to determine whether an additional discount should be applied given the age of market information that may have been considered as well as other factors such as costs to sell an asset if it is determined that the collateral will be liquidated in connection with the ultimate settlement of the loan. We use these valuations to determine if any specific reserves or charge-offs are necessary. We may obtain new valuations in certain circumstances, including when there has been significant deterioration in the condition of the collateral, if the foreclosure process has begun, or if the existing valuation is deemed to be outdated.

The following tables list the quantitative fair value information about impaired loans as of:



	June 30, 2017
Valuation Technique	Fair Value	Unobservable Input	Range
		Discount applied to collateral:
		Real Estate	20% - 30%
		Equipment	20% - 45%
Discounted value	$15,117	Cash crop inventory	30% - 40%
		Liquor license	75%
		Furniture, fixtures & equipment	40% - 45%

		Discount applied to collateral:
		Real Estate	20% - 30%
		Equipment	20% - 45%
Discounted value	$9,166	Cash crop inventory	30% - 40%
		Liquor license	75%
		Furniture, fixtures & equipment	45%

Discount factors with ranges are based on the age of the independent appraisal, broker price opinion, or internal evaluation.

Accrued interest receivable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable approximate fair value. As such, we classify accrued interest receivable as Level 1.

Equity securities without readily determinable fair values: Included in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are FHLB stock and FRB stock as well as our minority ownership interest in Corporate Settlement Solutions, LLC. The investment in Corporate Settlement Solutions, LLC, a title insurance agency, was made in the first quarter 2008 and we account for our investment under the equity method of accounting.

The lack of an active market, or other independent sources to validate fair value estimates coupled with the impact of future capital calls and transfer restrictions, is an inherent limitation in the valuation process. As the fair values of these investments are not readily determinable, they are not disclosed under a specific fair value hierarchy; however, they are reviewed quarterly for impairment. If we were to record an impairment adjustment related to these securities, it would be classified as a nonrecurring Level 3 fair value adjustment. During 2017 and 2016, there were no impairments recorded on equity securities without readily determinable fair values.

Foreclosed assets: Upon transfer from the loan portfolio, foreclosed assets (which are included in other assets) are adjusted to and subsequently carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Net realizable value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral, or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. Due to the inherent level of estimation in the valuation process, we classify foreclosed assets as nonrecurring Level 3.

The table below lists the quantitative fair value information related to foreclosed assets as of:



	June 30, 2017
Valuation Technique	Fair Value		Unobservable Input	Range
			Discount applied to collateral:
Discounted value	$	229	Real Estate	20% - 30%



	December 31, 2016
Valuation Technique	Fair Value		Unobservable Input	Range
			Discount applied to collateral:
Discounted value	$	231	Real Estate	20% - 30%

Discount factors with ranges are based on the age of the independent appraisal, broker price opinion, or internal evaluations.

Goodwill and other intangible assets: Acquisition intangibles and goodwill are evaluated for potential impairment on at least an annual basis. Acquisition intangibles and goodwill are typically qualitatively evaluated to determine if it is more likely than not that the carrying balance is impaired. If it is determined that the carrying balance of acquisition intangibles or goodwill is more likely than not to be impaired, we perform a cash flow valuation to determine the extent of the potential impairment. If the testing resulted in impairment, we would classify goodwill and other acquisition intangibles subjected to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 3. During 2017 and 2016, there were no impairments recorded on goodwill and other acquisition intangibles.

OMSR: OMSR (which are included in other assets) are subject to impairment testing. To test for impairment, we utilize a discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates and prepayment speed assumptions currently quoted for comparable instruments and discount rates. If the valuation model reflects a value less than the carrying value, OMSR are adjusted to fair

Table of Contents

value through a valuation allowance as determined by the model. As such, we classify OMSR subject to nonrecurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Deposits: The fair value of demand, savings, and money market deposits are equal to their carrying amounts and are classified as Level 1. Fair values for variable rate certificates of deposit approximate their carrying value. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits. As such, fixed rate certificates of deposit are classified as Level 2.

Borrowed funds: The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrowings under overnight repurchase agreements, and other short-term borrowings maturing within ninety days approximate their fair values. The fair values of other borrowed funds are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing arrangements. As such, borrowed funds are classified as Level 2.

Accrued interest payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest payable approximate fair value. As such, we classify accrued interest payable as Level 1.

Derivative instruments: Derivative instruments, consisting solely of interest rate swaps, are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Derivatives qualifying as cash flow hedges, when highly effective, are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in value recorded in OCI. Should the hedge no longer be considered effective, the ineffective portion of the change in fair value is recorded directly in earnings in the period in which the change occurs. The fair value of a derivative is determined by quoted market prices and model based valuation techniques. As such, we classify derivative instruments as Level 2.

Commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and undisbursed loans: Our commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and undisbursed funds have no carrying amount and are estimated to have no realizable fair value. Historically, a majority of the unused commitments to extend credit have not been drawn upon and, generally, we do not receive fees in connection with these commitments other than standby letter of credit fees, which are not significant.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Although we believe our valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement.

Estimated Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value in their Entirety on a Recurring Basis

Disclosure of the estimated fair values of financial instruments, which differ from carrying values, often requires the use of estimates. In cases where quoted market values in an active market are not available, we use present value techniques and other valuation methods to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments. These valuation methods require considerable judgment and the resulting estimates of fair value can be significantly affected by the assumptions made and methods used.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value in their entirety on a recurring basis were as follows as of:

ISABELLA BANK CORPORATION FINANCIAL REVIEW

(Dollars in thousands except per share amounts)

This section reviews our financial condition and results of our operations for the unaudited three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and with the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes, beginning on page 4 of this report.

Executive Summary

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we reported net income of $3,844 and $6,980 and earnings per common share of $0.49 and $0.89, respectively. Net income and earnings per common share for the same periods of 2016 were $3,407 and $6,424 and $0.44 and $0.82, respectively. The increase in earnings was primarily driven by interest income which increased $2,060 for the first six months of 2017 in comparison to the same period in 2016. Increased interest income is the result of strong loan growth during the past year.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, total assets grew by 2.61% to $1,777,298, and assets under management increased to $2,501,187 which includes loans sold and serviced, and assets managed by our Investment and Trust Services Department of $723,889. Total loans increased by $37,882 from December 31, 2016 which was largely driven by growth of $24,920 in the commercial loan portfolio. The growth in the loan portfolio was funded by an increase of $15,112 in deposits since December 31, 2016, with the remainder being funded through additional borrowed funds.

Our net yield on interest earning assets remains historically low at 3.01% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017. The growth in net interest income will increase only through continued growth in a strategic mix of loans, investments, and other income earning assets. We do not anticipate that the Federal Reserve Bank will increase short term interest rates significantly in the remainder of 2017; therefore, we anticipate marginal improvements in our net yield on interest earning assets in the short term. We are committed to increasing earnings and shareholder value through growth in our loan portfolio, investment and trust services, and in deposits while managing operating costs.

Reclassifications: Certain amounts reported in the 2016 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the 2017 presentation.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income is the amount by which interest income on earning assets exceeds the interest expenses on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income, which includes loan fees, is influenced by changes in the balance and mix of assets and liabilities and market interest rates. We exert some control over these factors; however, FRB monetary policy and competition have a significant impact. For analytical purposes, net interest income is adjusted to an FTE basis by adding the income tax savings from interest on tax exempt loans, and nontaxable investment securities, thus making year to year comparisons more meaningful.

Volume and Rate Variance Analysis

The following table sets forth the effect of volume and rate changes on interest income and expense for the periods indicated. For the purpose of this table, changes in interest due to volume and rate were determined as follows:

Volume—change in volume multiplied by the previous period's rate.

Rate—change in the FTE rate multiplied by the previous period's volume.

Table of Contents

The change in interest due to both volume and rate has been allocated to volume and rate changes in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each.

Our net yield on interest earning assets remains at historically low levels. The persistent low interest rate environment coupled with a high concentration of AFS securities as a percentage of earning assets has also placed downward pressure on net interest margin. While we do not anticipate significant improvement in our net yield on interest earning assets, we do expect marginal improvement as a result of loan growth throughout 2017.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

The viability of any financial institution is ultimately determined by its management of credit risk. Loans represent our single largest concentration of risk. The ALLL is our estimation of incurred losses within the existing loan portfolio. We allocate the ALLL throughout the loan portfolio based on our assessment of the underlying risks associated with each loan segment. Our assessments include allocations based on specific impairment valuation allowances, historical charge-offs, internally assigned credit risk ratings, and past due and nonaccrual balances. A portion of the ALLL is not allocated to any one loan segment, but is instead a reflection of other qualitative risks that reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

The following table summarizes our charge-offs, recoveries, provisions for loan losses, and ALLL balances as of, and for the:

ALLL as a % of loans at end of period	0.72		%	0.74		%	0.73		%	0.79		%	0.83		%

Net loan recoveries and improvement in credit quality indicators have resulted in a reduction of the required ALLL as a percentage of loans over the past year. During this time, credit quality indicators, specifically historical loss factors, remain strong and have led to lower levels of required reserves. While they can be more volatile, loans individually evaluated for impairment have been steadily declining. The addition of advances to mortgage brokers contributed to the overall decline in the level of ALLL to gross loans as there are no historical losses requiring reserves. While these advances contribute to other qualitative factors, the impact is not significant on the required level of the ALLL.

The following table illustrates our changes within the two main components of the ALLL as of:

Loans Past Due and Loans in Nonaccrual Status

Fluctuations in past due and nonaccrual status loans can have a significant impact on the ALLL. To determine the potential impact, and corresponding estimated losses, we analyze our historical loss trends on loans past due greater than 30 days and nonaccrual status loans. We monitor all loans that are past due and in nonaccrual status for indications of additional deterioration.



	Total Past Due and Nonaccrual Loans
	June 30 2017			March 31 2017			December 31 2016			September 30 2016			June 30 2016
Commercial and agricultural	$	4,920		$	5,758		$	4,598		$	3,148		$	2,247

Total past due and nonaccrual loans to gross loans	0.70		%	0.88		%	0.74		%	0.57		%	0.55		%

While past due and nonaccrual status loans have increased over the last year, they continue to be below historical norms and are the result of strong loan performance. A summary of loans past due and in nonaccrual status, including the composition of the ending balance of nonaccrual status loans by type, is included in “Note 5 – Loans and ALLL” of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

We have taken a proactive approach to avoid foreclosures on borrowers who are willing to work with us in modifying their loans, thus making them more affordable. While this approach has permitted certain borrowers to develop a payment structure that will allow them to continue making payments in lieu of foreclosure, it has contributed to a significant level of loans classified as TDR. The modifications have been successful for us and our customers as very few of the modified loans have resulted in foreclosures. At the time of the TDR, the loan is reviewed to determine whether or not to classify the loan as accrual or nonaccrual status. The majority of new modifications result in terms that satisfy our criteria for continued interest accrual. TDRs that have been placed on nonaccrual status may be placed back on accrual status after six months of continued performance.

We restructure debt with borrowers who, due to financial difficulties, are unable to service their debt under the original terms. We may extend the amortization period, reduce interest rates, forgive principal, forgive interest, or a combination of these modifications. Typically, the modifications are for a period of five years or less. There were no TDRs that were government sponsored as of June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

Losses associated with TDRs, if any, are included in the estimation of the ALLL in the quarter in which a loan is identified as a TDR, and we review the analysis of the ALLL estimation each reporting period to ensure its continued appropriateness.

Typically after a loan is 90 days past due, it is placed on nonaccrual status unless it is well secured and in the process of collection. Upon transferring the loans to nonaccrual status, we perform an evaluation to determine the net realizable value of the underlying collateral. This evaluation is used to help determine if any charge-offs are necessary. Loans may be placed back on accrual status after six months of continued performance. While nonperforming loans have increased in recent periods, current levels of nonperforming loans continue to reflect historically low levels.

Included in the nonaccrual loan balances above were loans currently classified as TDR as of:



	June 30 2017		December 31 2016
Commercial and agricultural	$	864	$	405
Residential real estate	295		384
Total	$	1,159	$	789

Additional disclosures about nonaccrual status loans are included in “Note 5 – Loans and ALLL” of our interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

We continue to devote considerable attention to identifying impaired loans and adjusting the net carrying value of these loans to their current net realizable values through the establishment of a specific reserve or the recording of a charge-off. We believe that we have identified all impaired loans as of June 30, 2017.

We believe that the level of the ALLL is appropriate as of June 30, 2017. We will continue to closely monitor overall credit quality indicators and our policies and procedures related to the analysis of the ALLL to ensure that the ALLL remains at the appropriate level.

Table of Contents

Significant changes in noninterest income are detailed below:


•	Offering rates on residential mortgage loans and prepayment speeds have been the most significant drivers behind fluctuations in net OMSR income (loss). We anticipate increases in mortgage rates and decreased prepayment speeds; therefore, we anticipate net OMSR income to remain positive during the remainder of 2017.


•	We anticipate increases in our originations in purchase money mortgage activity as a result of our various initiatives to drive growth. As a result, we expect net gains on the sale of mortgage loans to increase during the remainder of 2017.


•	We continue to invest considerable efforts to increase our market share in trust and brokerage advisory services. These efforts have translated into increases in such fees. We anticipate that these fees will continue to increase during the remainder of 2017.


•	Corporate Settlement Solutions income is down in the second quarter of 2017 due to the sales cycle on a couple of substantial new customers taking longer than anticipated. It is anticipated that income will increase during the remainder of 2017.


•	The fluctuations in all other income is spread throughout various categories, none of which are individually significant.

Significant changes in noninterest expenses are detailed below:


•	Employee salaries have increased in 2017 as a result of new positions required for future growth within our new markets, normal merit increases and increased incentive compensation. As such, we anticipate employee salaries expense to continue to trend higher for the remainder of 2017 compared to the expense levels of 2016.


•	Employee benefits have declined in 2017 due to a settlement with an insurance claim administrator in favor of Isabella Bank.


•	ATM and debit card fees increased in the second quarter of 2017 due to an early contract termination fee.


•	FDIC insurance premiums have declined in 2017 as a result of changes to the premium calculation; therefore, 2017 expenses are expected to be lower than 2016.


•	Marketing costs fluctuate from period-to-period based on the timing of campaigns. For the remainder of 2017, expenses are expected to slightly exceed 2016 levels as a result of marketing initiatives planned for 2017.

As shown above, total assets have increased $45,147 since December 31, 2016 which was primarily driven by loan growth of $37,882. This growth was funded by an increase in deposits and in borrowed funds of $15,112 and $23,246 respectively since December 31, 2016. While generating quality loans will continue to be competitive, we expect that loans will continue to grow in 2017.

Deposit demand continues to be driven by non-contractual deposits, such as demand and savings deposits, while certificates of deposit and Internet certificates of deposit have gradually declined. Brokered certificates of deposit offer another source of funding and fluctuate from period-to-period based on our funding needs, including changes in assets such as loans and investments.

The balance of AFS securities fluctuate from period-to-period based on changes in loans and deposits. While loan growth has been strong over the last year, we purchased AFS securities in periods when deposit growth outpaced loan demand. Conversely, we have sold AFS securities in periods when loan demand has outpaced deposit growth. We remain active in investments with our local schools and municipalities. Potential future growth is anticipated in state and political subdivisions AFS securities and purchases of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The following table displays fair values of AFS securities as of:

Borrowed funds include FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. The balance of borrowed funds fluctuates from period-to-period based on our funding needs including changes in loans, investments, and deposits. To provide balance sheet growth, we utilize borrowings and brokered deposits to fund earning assets. The following table displays borrowed funds balances as of:

Capital

Capital consists solely of common stock, retained earnings, and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). We are authorized to raise capital through dividend reinvestment, employee and director stock purchases, and shareholder stock purchases. Pursuant to these authorizations, we issued 135,516 shares or $3,764 of common stock during the first six months of 2017, as compared to 88,486 shares or $2,489 of common stock during the same period in 2016. We also offer the Directors Plan in which participants either directly purchase stock or purchase stock units through deferred fees, in lieu of cash payments. Pursuant to this plan, we increased shareholders’ equity by $302 and $273 during the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We have a publicly announced common stock repurchase plan. Pursuant to this plan, we repurchased 94,032 shares or $2,622 of common stock during the first six months of 2017 and 51,911 shares or $1,462 during the first six months of 2016. As of June 30, 2017, we were authorized to repurchase up to an additional 105,875 shares of common stock.

The FRB has established minimum risk based capital guidelines. Pursuant to these guidelines, a framework has been established that assigns risk weights to each category of on and off-balance-sheet items to arrive at risk adjusted total assets. Regulatory capital is divided by the risk adjusted assets with the resulting ratio compared to the minimum standard to determine whether a corporation has adequate capital. On July 2, 2013, the FRB published revised BASEL III Capital standards for banks. The final rules redefine what is included or deducted from equity capital, changes risk weighting for certain on and off-balance sheet assets, increases the minimum required equity capital to be considered well capitalized, and introduces a capital conservation buffer. The rules, which are being gradually phased in between 2015 and 2019, are not expected to have a material impact on the Corporation but will require us to hold more capital than has historically been required.

There are no significant regulatory constraints placed on our capital. The FRB’s current recommended minimum primary capital to assets requirement is 6.00%. Our primary capital to adjusted average assets, or tier 1 leverage ratio, was 8.50% as of June 30, 2017.

Table of Contents

Effective January 1, 2015, the minimum standard for primary, or Tier 1 capital, increased from 4.00% to 6.00%. The minimum standard for total capital is 8.00%. Also effective January 1, 2015 was the new common equity tier 1 capital ratio which had a minimum requirement of 4.50%. Beginning on January 1, 2016 the capital conservation buffer went into effect which will further increase the required levels each year through 2019. The following table sets forth the percentages required under the Risk Based Capital guidelines and our ratios as of:



	June 30 2017				December 31 2016
	Actual		Minimum Required		Actual		Minimum Required
Common equity tier 1 capital	12.430	%	5.750	%	12.390	%	5.125	%

Tier 1 capital	12.430	%	7.250	%	12.390	%	6.625	%
Tier 2 capital	0.640	%	2.000	%	0.650	%	2.000	%
Total Capital	13.070	%	9.250	%	13.040	%	8.625	%

Tier 2 capital, or secondary capital, includes only the ALLL. The percentage for the secondary capital under the required column is the maximum amount allowed from all sources.

The FRB and FDIC also prescribe minimum capital requirements for Isabella Bank. At June 30, 2017, the Bank exceeded these minimum capital requirements.

Contractual Obligations and Loan Commitments

We are party to credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. These financial instruments are entered into in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement we have in a particular class of financial instrument.

The following table summarizes our credit related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk as of:



	June 30 2017		December 31 2016
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit	$	160,407	$	168,840
Commitments to grant loans	36,746		29,339
Commercial and standby letters of credit	1,493		1,223
Total	$	198,646	$	199,402

Unfunded commitments under lines of credit are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These commitments may expire without being drawn upon and do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Advances to mortgage brokers are also included in unfunded commitments under lines of credit. The unfunded commitment amount is the difference between our outstanding balances and the maximum outstanding aggregate amount.

Commitments to grant loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. Commitments to grant loans include residential mortgage loans with the majority being loans committed to be sold to the secondary market.

Commercial and standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. These commitments to extend credit and letters of credit generally mature within one year. The credit risk involved in these transactions is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. We evaluate each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary upon the extension of credit, is based on a credit evaluation of the borrower. While we consider standby letters of credit to be guarantees, the amount of the liability related to such guarantees on the commitment date is not significant and a liability related to such guarantees is not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets.

Table of Contents

Our exposure to credit-related loss in the event of nonperformance by the counter parties to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit could be up to the contractual notional amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies as we do for extending loans to customers. No significant losses are anticipated as a result of these commitments.

Fair Value

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. AFS securities, cash flow hedge derivative instruments and certain liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time-to-time, we may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as mortgage loans AFS, impaired loans, goodwill, foreclosed assets, OMSR, and certain other assets and liabilities. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve the application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

For further information regarding fair value measurements see “Note 11 – Fair Value” of our notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

Liquidity

Liquidity is monitored regularly by our Market Risk Committee, which consists of members of senior management. The committee reviews projected cash flows, key ratios, and liquidity available from both primary and secondary sources.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and unencumbered AFS securities. These categories totaled $276,489 or 15.56% of assets as of June 30, 2017, compared to $307,112 or 17.73% as of December 31, 2016. The decrease in primary liquidity is a direct result of our unencumbered AFS securities activity during 2017. Liquidity is important for financial institutions because of their need to meet loan funding commitments, depositor withdrawal requests, and various other commitments including expansion of operations, investment opportunities, and payment of cash dividends. Liquidity varies significantly daily, based on customer activity.

Our primary source of funds is through deposit accounts. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB, the FRB, and through various correspondent banks in the form of federal funds purchased and a line of credit. These funding methods typically carry a higher interest rate than traditional market deposit accounts. Some borrowed funds, including FHLB advances, FRB Discount Window advances, and repurchase agreements, require us to pledge assets, typically in the form of AFS securities or loans, as collateral. As of June 30, 2017, we had available lines of credit of $119,462.

The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the six month period ended June 30:



	2017			2016			$ Variance

Market Risk

Our primary market risks are interest rate risk and liquidity risk. We have no significant foreign exchange risk in the management of IRR. Any changes in foreign exchange rates or commodity prices would have an insignificant impact on our interest income and cash flows.

IRR is the exposure of our net interest income to changes in interest rates. IRR results from the difference in the maturity or repricing frequency of a financial institution's interest earning assets and its interest bearing liabilities. IRR is the fundamental method by which financial institutions earn income and create shareholder value. Excessive exposure to IRR could pose a significant risk to our earnings and capital.

The FRB has adopted a policy requiring us to effectively manage the various risks that can have a material impact on our safety and soundness. The risks include credit, interest rate, liquidity, operational, and reputational. We have policies, procedures, and internal controls for measuring and managing these risks. Specifically, our Funds Management policy and procedures include defining acceptable types and terms of investments and funding sources, liquidity requirements, limits on investments in long

Table of Contents

term assets, limiting the mismatch in repricing opportunity of assets and liabilities, and the frequency of measuring and reporting to our Board.

The primary technique to measure IRR is simulation analysis. Simulation analysis forecasts the effects on the balance sheet structure and net interest income under a variety of scenarios that incorporate changes in interest rates, the shape of yield curves, interest rate relationships, loan prepayments, and changes in funding sources. These forecasts are compared against net interest income projected in a stable interest rate environment. While many assets and liabilities reprice either at maturity or in accordance with their contractual terms, several balance sheet components demonstrate characteristics that require an evaluation to more accurately reflect their repricing behavior. Key assumptions in the simulation analysis include prepayments on loans, probable calls of investment securities, changes in market conditions, loan volumes and loan pricing, deposit sensitivity, and customer preferences. These assumptions are inherently uncertain as they are subject to fluctuation and revision in a dynamic environment. As a result, the simulation analysis cannot precisely forecast the impact of rising and falling interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from simulated results due to many other factors, including changes in balance sheet components, interest rate changes, changes in market conditions, and management strategies.

Our interest rate sensitivity is estimated by first forecasting the next 12 and 24 months of net interest income under an assumed environment of a constant balance sheet and constant market interest rates (base case). We then compare the results of various simulation analyses to the base case. At June 30, 2017, we projected the change in net interest income during the next 12 and 24 months assuming market interest rates were to immediately decrease by 100 basis points and increase by 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points in a parallel fashion over the entire yield curve during the same time period. We did not project scenarios showing decreases in interest rates beyond 100 basis points as this is considered extremely unlikely given current interest rate levels. These projections were based on our assets and liabilities remaining static over the next 12 and 24 months, while factoring in probable calls and prepayments of certain investment securities and residential real estate and consumer loans. While it is extremely unlikely that interest rates would immediately increase to these levels, we feel that these extreme scenarios help us identify potential gaps and mismatches in the repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities. We regularly monitor our projected net interest income sensitivity to ensure that it remains within established limits. As of June 30, 2017, our interest rate sensitivity results were within Board approved limits.

The following tables summarize our interest rate sensitivity for the next 12 and 24 months as of:



	June 30, 2017

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2017, pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

(C)	Repurchases of Common Stock

We have adopted and publicly announced a common stock repurchase plan. The plan was last amended on December 21, 2016, to allow for the repurchase of an additional 200,000 shares of common stock after that date. These authorizations do not have expiration dates. As common shares are repurchased under this plan, they are retired and revert back to the status of authorized, but unissued common shares.

The following table provides information for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, with respect to this plan:
