FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. (“we”, “our” or “us” on a consolidated basis) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements include projections, predictions, expectations or statements as to beliefs or future events or results or refer to other matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report are based on various factors and were derived using numerous assumptions. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by words like “may”, “will”, “should”, “expect”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict”, “potential”, or “continue” or the negative of those words and other comparable words. You should be aware that those statements reflect only our predictions. If known or unknown risks or uncertainties should materialize, or if any one or more of our material underlying assumptions should prove inaccurate, actual results could differ materially from past results and those anticipated, estimated or projected. You should bear this in mind when reading this quarterly report and not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to:

•

The Company’s limited operating history as an integrated company following the merger of Commerce Union Bank and legacy Reliant Bank on April 1, 2015;

•

Our expected revenue synergies and cost savings from the merger may not be fully realized, and our revenues may be lower than expected;

•

The risk that the weak national and local economies and weakly recovering (or continuing depressed) real estate and credit markets caused by the recent global recession will further, or continuously, constrain or reduce the demand for loan, deposit and other financial services and/or increase loan delinquencies and defaults;

•

The risk that the local economy will not continue the perceived, somewhat encouraging recovery that appears to be increasing the strength of the economic recovery in the Company’s market areas;

•

The negative impact on profitability imposed on us by a compressed NIM (“net interest margin” on loans and other extensions of credit) that affects our ability to lend profitably and to price loans effectively in the face of competitive pressures;

•

Our liquidity requirements could be adversely affected by changes in our assets and liabilities;

•

The effect of legislative or regulatory developments, including changes in laws concerning banking, securities, taxes, insurance and other aspects of the financial services industry;

•

Our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified banking professionals;

•

A significant number of our customers failing to perform under their loans and other terms of credit agreements;

•

The growing concern on the impact of a future rise in interest rates, affecting both our pricing of credit and our investments;

•

Failure to attract or retain stable deposits at reasonable cost that is competitive with the larger international, national, and regional financial service providers with which we compete;

•

International, national, and local disasters such as terrorist attacks, natural disasters, or the effects of pandemic flu or other pandemic illness;

•

Significant reliance on loans secured by real estate and the associated vulnerability to downturns in the local real estate market, natural disasters and other variables impacting the value of real estate;

•

Incorrect responses to, or assumptions based on, experiences and circumstances, such as responses to known or perceived changes in the economy;

•

Volatility and disruption in financial, credit and securities markets;

•

Deterioration in the financial markets that may result in other-than-temporary impairment charges relating to securities owned by the Reliant Bank;

•

The effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and other regulatory agencies; and

•

The effect of fiscal and governmental policies of the United States federal government.

You should also consider carefully the risk factors discussed in Item 1A of Part II of this Form 10-Q, which address additional factors that could cause our actual results to differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements and could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition. The risks discussed in this quarterly report are factors that, individually or in the aggregate, management believes could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider such disclosures to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. Factors not here or there listed may develop or, if currently extant, we may not have yet recognized them.

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Management has the intent and ability to hold all securities in an unrealized loss position for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date and/or market rates decline. There were 171 securities in an unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2015.

Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Commercial and industrial: The commercial and industrial loan portfolio segment includes commercial and industrial loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other expansion projects. Collection risk in this portfolio is driven by the creditworthiness of underlying borrowers, particularly cash flow from customers’ business operations. Commercial and industrial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial and industrial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

NOTE 3—LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Multi-family and commercial real estate: Multi-family and commercial real estate and multi-family loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial and industrial loans, in addition to those of real estate loans. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate.

Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type. This diversity helps reduce the Company’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. The Company also utilizes third-party experts to provide insight and guidance about economic conditions and trends affecting the market areas it serves. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans. Non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans are loans secured by multifamily and commercial properties where the primary source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (that is, loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, nonaffiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. These loans are made to finance income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail properties. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans are loans where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from the ongoing operations and business activities conducted by the party, or affiliate of the party, who owns the property.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

NOTE 3—LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Construction and land development: Loans for non-owner-occupied real estate construction or land development are generally repaid through cash flow related to the operation, sale or refinance of the property. The Company also finances construction loans for owner-occupied properties. A portion of the Company’s construction and land portfolio segment is comprised of loans secured by residential product types (residential land and single-family construction). With respect to construction loans to developers and builders that are secured by non-owner occupied properties that the Company may originate from time to time, the Company generally requires the borrower to have had an existing relationship with the Company and have a proven record of success. Construction and land development loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates, market sales activity, and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based upon estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

1-4 family residential real estate: Residential real estate loans represent loans to consumers or investors to finance a residence. These loans are typically financed on 15 to 30 year amortization terms, but generally with shorter maturities of 5 to 15 years. Many of these loans are extended to borrowers to finance their primary or secondary residence. Loans to an investor secured by a 1-4 family residence will be repaid from either the rental income from the property or from the sale of the property. This loan segment also includes closed-end home equity loans that are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence. This allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home. Loans in this portfolio segment are underwritten and approved based on a number of credit quality criteria including limits on maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV), minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Real estate market values as of the time the loan is made directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these residential property values impact the depth of potential losses in this portfolio segment.

1-4 family HELOC: This loan segment includes open-end home equity loans that are secured by a first or second mortgage on the borrower’s residence. This allows customers to borrow against the equity in their home utilizing a revolving line of credit. These loans are underwritten and approved based on a number of credit quality criteria including limits on maximum LTV, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Real estate market values as of the time the loan is made directly affect the amount of credit extended and, in addition, changes in these residential property values impact the depth of potential losses in this portfolio segment. Because of the revolving nature of these loans as well as the fact that many represent second mortgages, this portfolio segment can contain more risk than the amortizing 1-4 family residential real estate loans.

NOTE 3—LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio segment includes non-real estate secured direct loans to consumers for household, family, and other personal expenditures. Consumer loans may be secured or unsecured and are usually structured with short or medium term maturities. These loans are underwritten and approved based on a number of consumer credit quality criteria including limits on maximum LTV on secured consumer loans, minimum credit scores, and maximum debt to income. Many traditional forms of consumer installment credit have standard monthly payments and fixed repayment schedules of one to five years. These loans are made with either fixed or variable interest rates that are based on specific indices. Installment loans fill a variety of needs, such as financing the purchase of an automobile, a boat, a recreational vehicle, or other large personal items, or for consolidating debt. These loans may be unsecured or secured by an assignment of title, as in an automobile loan, or by money in a bank account. In addition to consumer installment loans, this portfolio segment also includes secured and unsecured personal lines of credit as well as overdraft protection lines. Loans in this portfolio segment are sensitive to unemployment and other key consumer economic measures.

The Company utilizes a risk grading system to monitor the credit quality of the Company’s commercial loan portfolio which consists of commercial and industrial, commercial real estate and construction loans. Loans are graded on a scale of 1 to 9. Grades 1 - 5 are pass credits, grade 6 is special mention, grade 7 is substandard, grade 8 is doubtful and grade 9 is loss. A description of the risk grades are as follows:

Grade 1—Minimal Risk (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers with a strong financial position and history of profits and cash flows sufficient to service the debt. These borrowers have well defined sources of primary/secondary repayment, conservatively leveraged balance sheets and the ability to access a wide range of financing alternatives. Collateral securing these loans is negotiable, of sufficient value and in possession of the Company. Risk of loss is unlikely.

(Dollar amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

NOTE 3—LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Grade 2—High Quality (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers with a strong financial condition reflecting dependable net profits and cash flows. The borrower has verifiable liquid net worth providing above average asset protection. An identifiable market exists for the collateral. Risk of loss is unlikely.

Grade 3—Above Average (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers with a balance sheet that reflects a comfortable degree of leverage and liquidity. Borrowers are profitable and have a sustained record of servicing debt. An identifiable market exists for the collateral, but liquidation could take up to one year. Risk of loss is unlikely.

Grade 4—Average (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers with a financial condition that is satisfactory and comparable to industry standards. The borrower has verifiable net worth, providing over time, average asset protection. Borrower cash flows are sufficient to satisfy debt service requirements. Risk of loss is below average.

Grade 5—Acceptable (Management Attention) (Pass)

This grade includes loans to borrowers whose loans are performing, but sources of repayment are not documented by the current credit analysis. There are some declining trends in margins, ratios and/or cash flow. Guarantor(s) have strong net worth(s), but assets may be concentrated in real estate or other illiquid investments. Risk of loss is average.

Grade 6—Special Mention

Special mention assets have potential weaknesses that may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s position at some future date. These assets pose elevated risk, but their weakness does not yet justify a substandard classification. Borrowers may be experiencing adverse operating trends (declining revenues or margins) or an ill proportioned balance sheet (e.g., increasing inventory without an increase in sales, high leverage, tight liquidity). Adverse economic or market conditions, such as interest rate increases or the entry of a new competitor, may also support a special mention rating. Nonfinancial reasons for rating a credit exposure special mention include management problems, pending litigation, an ineffective loan agreement or other material structural weakness, and any other significant deviation from prudent lending practices. The special mention rating is designed to identify a specific level of risk and concern about asset quality. Although a special mention asset has a higher probability of default than a pass asset, its default is not imminent.

NOTE 3—LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (CONTINUED)

Grade 7—Substandard

A ‘‘substandard’’ extension of credit is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Extensions of credit so classified should have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loss potential, while existing in the aggregate amount of substandard credits, does not have to exist in individual extensions of credit classified substandard. Substandard assets have a high probability of payment default, or they have other well-defined weaknesses. They require more intensive supervision by Company management. Substandard assets are generally characterized by current or expected unprofitable operations, inadequate debt service coverage, inadequate liquidity, or marginal capitalization. Repayment may depend on collateral or other credit risk mitigation.

Grade 8—Doubtful

An extension of credit classified ‘‘doubtful’’ has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage of and strengthen the credit, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined. Pending factors may include a proposed merger or acquisition, liquidation proceedings, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, or refinancing plans. Generally, the doubtful classification should not extend for a long period of time because in most cases the pending factors or events that warranted the doubtful classification should be resolved either positively or negatively in a reasonable period of time.

Grade 9—Loss

Extensions of credit classified ‘‘loss’’ are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the credit has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future. Amounts classified loss should be promptly charged off. The Company will not attempt long term recoveries while the credit remains on the Company’s books. Losses should be taken in the period in which they surface as uncollectible. With loss assets, the underlying borrowers are often in bankruptcy, have formally suspended debt repayments, or have otherwise ceased normal business operations. Once an asset is classified loss, there is little prospect of collecting either its principal or interest.

Non-commercial purpose loans are initially assigned a default loan grade of 99 (Pass) and are risk graded (Grade 6, 7, or 8) according to delinquency status when applicable.

NOTE 4—FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Financial accounting standards relating to fair value measurements establish a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:


Level 1		Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2		Inputs to the valuation methodology include:

•

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

•

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;

•

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;

•

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by the observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.



Level 3		Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

An asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities available for sale: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical 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). The Company obtains fair value measurements for securities available for sale from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers, cash flows and reference data, including market research publications, among other things.

Interest rate swaps: The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined based on discounted future cash flows.

NOTE 4—FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include the following:

Impaired Loans: The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s effective rate as the discount rate or 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 appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Other real estate owned: The fair value of other real estate owned is generally 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 appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

There were no changes in valuation methodologies used during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company’s 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 estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

NOTE 4—FAIR VALUES OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES (CONTINUED)

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value are described as follows:

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, restricted equity securities, demand deposits, and variable rate loans or deposits that re-price frequently and fully. For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans or deposits with infrequent re-pricing or re-pricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life and credit risk. Fair value of debt is based on discounted cash flows using current rates for similar financing.

NOTE 5—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

In 2006, the Board of Directors and shareholders of the Bank approved the Commerce Union Bank Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the granting of stock options, and authorizes the issuance of common stock upon the exercise of such options, for up to 625,000 shares of common stock to employees and organizers of the Company. As part of a reorganization, all Commerce Union Bank options were replaced with Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. options with no change in terms. On March 10, 2015, the shareholders of the Company approved the Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan that permits the grant of awards of up to 1,250,000 shares of the Company common stock in the form of stock options. As part of the merger with Reliant Bank, all outstanding stock options of Reliant Bank were converted to stock options of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. under this plan.

Under the Stock Option Plan, stock option awards may be granted in the form of incentive stock options or non-statutory stock options, and are generally exercisable for up to ten years following the date such option awards are granted. Exercise prices of incentive stock options must be equal to or greater than the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.

A summary of the activity in the stock option plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is as follows. The beginning balance reflects the outstanding options of Reliant Bank:

NOTE 6—REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal and state banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action. Management believes as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: 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 capital restoration plans are required. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution’s category.

NOTE 6—REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (CONTINUED)

In July 2013, the FDIC approved final rules that substantially amend the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to the Bank. The final rules implement the regulatory capital reforms of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision reflected in “Basel III: A Global Framework for More Resilient Banks and Banking Systems” (Basel III) and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act.

Under these rules, the leverage and risk-based capital ratios of bank holding companies may not be lower than the leverage and risk-based capital ratios for insured depository institutions. The final rules implementing Basel III became effective on January 1, 2015, and include new minimum risk-based capital and leverage ratios and a new common equity tier 1 ratio. In addition, these rules refine the definition of what constitutes capital for purposes of calculating those ratios, including the definitions of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital.

Basel III establishes a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% to be phased in beginning on January 1, 2016, at a rate of .625% per year, becoming fully phased in on January 1, 2019. An institution will be subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if capital levels fall below minimum levels plus the buffer.

Actual and required capital amounts and ratios are presented below as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

NOTE 8—SEGMENT REPORTING (CONTINUED)

The Company files separate Federal tax returns for the operations of the mortgage banking and banking operations. The taxable income or losses of the mortgage banking operations are included in the respective returns of the Bank and non-controlling members for Federal purposes. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company began consolidating the results of the Bank and the mortgage banking operations in its tax filings with the State of Tennessee. A cumulative benefit of $165 relating to 2014 and prior tax losses of the mortgage banking operations were available to offset a portion of the income of the Bank.

Our effective tax rate represents our blended federal and state rate of 38.29% reduced by the impact of anticipated favorable permanent differences between our book and taxable income such as bank-owned life insurance, income earned on tax-exempt securities and certain state tax credits. The non-deductibility of certain merger related expenses also drives fluctuations in our effective tax rate. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the effective tax rate decreased due to the recognized benefit of the state tax losses for the mortgage banking operations.

NOTE 9—DERIVATIVES

During the second quarter of 2014, the Bank began executing an approximate $10.5 million specific investment and related swap strategy. The strategy called for the purchase of approximately $10.5 million of investment grade municipal securities with the simultaneous execution of third-party swap arrangements effectively converting the fixed municipal yields to floating rates. These fair value hedges are intended to reduce the interest rate risk associated with the underlying hedged item by mitigating the risk of changes in fair value based on fluctuations in interest rates. The Company utilized the same strategy in the first and third quarters of 2015 adding an additional $6.1 million and $4.9 million of similar investments and related swaps, respectively.

These derivative instruments were designated and qualify as a fair value hedge. Accordingly, the gain or loss on the derivatives as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the available-for-sale securities attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. At September 30, 2015, the Company’s fair value hedges are effective and are not expected to have a significant impact on our net income over the next 12 months.

The notional amounts of the swap agreements totaled $21.5 million at September 30, 2015 with fair values totaling $71 recorded in other assets and $587 recorded in other liabilities. The notional amounts of the swap agreements totaled $10.3 million at December 31, 2014 with fair values totaling $250 recorded in other liabilities.

NOTE 10—RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 (i) modify the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are variable interest entities or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminate the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, (iii) affect the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with variable interest entities, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships, and (iv) provide scope exceptions from consolidation guidance for reporting entities with interest in legal entities that are required to comply or operate in accordance with requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered market funds. The amendments in ASU 2015-02 are effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 11—BUSINESS COMBINATION

On March 10, 2015, Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. (“Commerce Union”) approved a merger with Reliant Bank (“Reliant”) which became effective on April 1, 2015 (“the Merger”). Each outstanding share and option to purchase a share of Reliant common stock converted into the right to receive 1.0213 shares of Commerce Union common stock. After the Merger was completed, Commerce Union’s shareholders owned approximately 44.5% of the common stock of the Company and Reliant Bank’s shareholders owned approximately 55.5% of the common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805-10 Business Combinations.

As such, for accounting purposes, Reliant was considered to have acquired Commerce Union in this transaction. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company will be the historical financial statements of Reliant. The assets and liabilities of Commerce Union as of the effective date of the Merger were recorded at their respective estimated fair values and added to those of Reliant. Any excess of purchase price over the net estimate fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Commerce Union were allocated to all identifiable intangibles assets. Any remaining excess was then allocated to goodwill.

As mentioned above, in periods following the Merger, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company are those of Reliant prior to the Merger. These financial statements include the results attributable to the operations of Commerce Union beginning on April 1, 2015.

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

In the following section the terms “Company” means “Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc.” and “Bank” means “Reliant Bank.” The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to the Company’s and Bank’s results of operations and financial condition. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein along with our 8-K/A filed June 15, 2015. Amounts in the narrative are shown in thousands, except for economic and demographic information, numbers of shares, per share amounts and as otherwise noted.

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and conform to general practices within the banking industry. To prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 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 actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses and fair value of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.

Our accounting policies are integral to understanding the results reported. Accounting policies are described throughout this document which includes the consolidated financial statements. The critical accounting policies require our judgment to ascertain the valuation of assets, liabilities, commitments and contingencies. We have established policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. In addition, the policies and procedures are intended to ensure that the process for changing methodologies occurs in an appropriate manner. The following is a brief summary of the more significant policies.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2015 include the accounts of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reliant Bank “Bank” along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Commerce Union Mortgage Services, Inc., the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Reliant Investments, LLC, and the Bank’s 51% controlled subsidiary, Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC, collectively (the “Company”). The consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 included the accounts of the Company after the reverse merger described below for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and the accounts of Reliant Bank only, with its wholly-owned subsidiary Reliant Investments, LLC and it’s 51% controlled subsidiary Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC, for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Comparative periods are comprised of the accounts of the Reliant Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Reliant Investments, LLC, and its 51% controlled subsidiary, Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

During 2011, the Bank and another entity organized Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC referred to above for the purpose of improving the Bank’s mortgage operations. Under the related operating agreement, the non-controlling member receives 70% of the profits of the mortgage venture, and the Bank receives 30% of the profits once the non-controlling member recovers its aggregate losses. The non-controlling member is responsible for 100% of the mortgage venture’s operational and credit losses.

Purchased Loans

The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on purchased loans based on credit deterioration subsequent to the acquisition date. In accordance with the accounting guidance for business combinations, because we recorded all acquired loans at fair value as of the date of the reverse merger (discussed below), we did not establish an allowance for loan losses on any of the loans we purchased as of the acquisition date as any credit deterioration evident in the loans was included in the determination of the acquisition date fair values. For purchased

credit-impaired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, management establishes an allowance for loan losses subsequent to the date of acquisition by re-estimating expected cash flows on these loans on a quarterly basis, with any decline in expected cash flows due to credit triggering impairment recorded as provision for loan losses. The allowance established is the excess of the loan’s carrying value over the present value of projected future cash flows, discounted at the current accounting yield of the loan or the fair value of collateral (less estimated costs to sell) for collateral dependent loans. These cash flow evaluations are inherently subjective as they require material estimates, all of which may be susceptible to significant change. While the determination of specific cash flows involves estimates, each estimate is unique to the individual loan, and none is individually significant. For non-purchased credit-impaired loans acquired in the reverse merger and that are accounted for under ASC 310-20, the historical loss estimates are based on the historical losses experienced by Reliant Bank for loans with similar characteristics as those acquired other than purchased credit-impaired loans. We record an allowance for loan losses only when the calculated amount exceeds the remaining credit mark established at acquisition.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using historical loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, current economic conditions (national and local), and other factors such as changes in interest rates, portfolio concentrations, changes in the experience, ability, and depth of the lending function, levels of and trends in charged-off loans, recoveries, past-due loans and volume and severity of classified loans. 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. The entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

There is an unallocated general reserve. This unallocated portion of the reserve is above the allocated amount calculated for each loan pool segment based on each loan pool’s historical loss experience adjusted for current economic and environmental factors. This unallocated reserve was added due to the volatility in credit losses and the uncertainty risk that is not specifically identified with any particular loan pool segment. It also recognizes that the recent recessionary period has manifested in higher and more unpredictable loss rates over an extended period of time. Management believes the volatility in real estate values over several of the past years as well as the continued slowness in general economic recovery supports maintaining an unallocated portion of the general reserve.

A loan is impaired when full payment under the loan terms is not expected. All classified loans and loans on non-accrual status are individually evaluated for impairment. Factors considered in determining if a loan is impaired include the borrower’s ability to repay amounts owed, collateral deficiencies, the risk rating of the loan and economic conditions affecting the borrower’s industry, among other things. 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 (less estimated costs to sell) of collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Interest payments on impaired loans are typically applied to principal unless the principal amount is deemed fully collectible, in which case interest is recognized on a cash basis. When recognition of interest income on a cash basis is appropriate, the amount of income recognized is limited to what would have been accrued on the remaining principal balance at the contractual rate. Cash payments received over this limit, and not applied to reduce the loans remaining principal balance, are recorded as recoveries of prior charge-offs until these charge-offs have been fully recovered.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note to the financial statements. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014

Merger Between Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. and Reliant Bank

On March 10, 2015, Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. approved a merger with Reliant Bank which became effective on April 1, 2015 (“the Merger”). Each outstanding share and option to purchase a share of Reliant Bank common stock converted into the right to receive 1.0213 shares of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. common stock. After the Merger was completed, Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc.’s shareholders owned approximately 44.5% of the common stock of the Company and Reliant Bank’s shareholders owned approximately 55.5% of the common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis.

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse merger using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805-10 Business Combinations.

As such, for accounting purposes, Reliant Bank was considered to be acquiring Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. in this transaction. As a result, the historical financial statements of the Company will be the historical financial statements of Reliant Bank. The assets and liabilities of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. as of the effective date of the Merger were recorded at their respective estimated fair values and added to those of Reliant Bank. Any excess of purchase price over the net estimate fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. were allocated to all identifiable intangibles assets. Any remaining excess was then allocated to goodwill.

In periods following the Merger, the comparative historical financial statements of the Company are those of Reliant Bank prior to the Merger. These consolidated financial statements include the results attributable to the operations of Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. beginning on April 1, 2015.

The Merger increased the Company’s total revenue by approximately $4,051 and $8,013, respectively, and increased net income before taxes by approximately $1,555 and $3,149, respectively, for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. The earnings growth was offset somewhat by an increase in non-interest expenses related to the Merger. Salaries expense totaled $5,324 and $13,238 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $3,024 and $7,102 for the same periods in 2014, an increase of $2,300 and $6,136 between the respective periods, most of which is attributed to the addition of Commerce Union Bank personnel and increases in commissions and personnel related to the operation of Reliant Bank mortgage services. Expenses related to the Merger totaled $214 and $840 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. These expenses were related to various professional fees for legal, accounting and other consultants. These and other factors that contributed to the Company’s earnings results for the periods indicated are discussed in more detail below.

As of March 31, 2015, Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc., including its wholly-owned subsidiary Commerce Union Bank, had total assets of $305 million, total loans of $249 million and total deposits of $247 million. Commerce Union Bank held a loan portfolio that was primarily comprised of real estate loans. Immediately prior to the closing of the acquisition, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, Commerce Union Bank’s balance of nonperforming loans totaled 0.61% of total loans.

As a result of the Merger, the Company:

•

grew consolidated total assets from $474.4 million to $790.9 million as of April 1, 2015, after giving effect to purchase accounting;

•

increased total loans from $313.2 million to $561.4 million as of April 1, 2015;

•

increased total deposits from $376.6 million to $623.9 million as of April 1, 2015; and

•

expanded its employee base from 164 full time equivalent employees to 215 full time equivalent employees as of April 1, 2015.

Earnings

Net income attributable to common shareholders amounted to $1,833 and $4,047, or $0.26 and $0.67 per basic share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $849 and $2,913, or $0.21 and $0.73 per basic share for the same periods in 2014. Diluted net income attributable to shareholders per share was $0.25 and $0.65 per diluted share and $0.21 and $0.72 per diluted share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 2014, respectively. The largest components of the improvement from the previous three and nine months include a 81.1 % and 65.0%, respectively, increase in net interest income of $3,408 and $7,473, respectively, and an increase in non-interest income of $3,178 and $7,012, respectively for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 2014. The largest factor offsetting the improvement was an increase in non-interest expenses of $3,878 and $10,658, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. These and other components of the variances are discussed further below.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest earned on various earning assets exceeds interest paid on deposits and other interest-bearing liabilities and is the most significant component of our revenues. The following table sets forth the amount of our average balances, interest income or interest expense for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the average interest rate for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, net interest spread and net interest margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Table Assumptions—Average loan balances are inclusive of nonperforming loans. Tax exempt investment security yields are shown on a fully tax equivalent basis. Net interest spread is calculated as the yields realized on interest-bearing assets less the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the result of net interest income calculated on a tax-equivalent basis divided by average interest earning assets for the period. Changes in net interest income are attributed to either changes in average balances (volume change) or changes in average rates (rate change) for earning assets and sources of funds on which interest is received or paid. Volume change is calculated as change in volume times the previous rate while rate change is change in rate times the previous volume. Changes not due solely to volume or rate changes have been allocated to volume change and rate change in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amounts of the change in each category.

Analysis—For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded net interest income of approximately $7.6 million and $19.0 million, respectively, which resulted in a net interest margin (net interest income divided by the average balance of interest earning assets) of 3.98% and 3.96%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded net interest income of approximately $4.2 million and $11.5 million, respectively, which resulted in a net interest margin of 4.02% and 3.99%, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our net interest spread was 3.89% and 3.87%, respectively and 3.94% and 3.90%, respectively.

Our year-over-year average loan volume increased by approximately 67.71% from the first nine months of 2014 to the first nine months of 2015. Our combined loan and loan fee yield declined from 5.03% to 4.98% for the first nine months of 2015 compared to 2014, respectively, while our combined loan and loan fee yield decreased from 5.10% to 4.97% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 to 2015, respectively. The competition for quality loans has remained intense and the market dictates the rate necessary in order to grow and to some extent even maintain volumes.

The decline in net interest margin was favorably impacted by management’s efforts to lower our cost of funds. Our cost of funds declined from 0.50% to 0.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2015, respectively. Our cost of funds was consistent at 0.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2015. The decline for the comparative nine months was attributable to several factors. Management has continued to lower rates paid on interest bearing liabilities and has somewhat shifted toward lower-cost alternative funding sources such as wholesale time deposits and low-cost Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We also experienced a 76.7% increase in our average non-interest bearing deposits from the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 2015 mainly as a result of a year-long strategic growth initiative and the Merger effective April 1, 2015.

We continue to deploy various asset and liability management strategies to manage our risk to interest rate fluctuations. We believe margin expansion over both the short and the long term will be challenging due to continued pressure on earning asset yields during this extended period of low interest rates. Loan pricing for creditworthy borrowers is very competitive in our markets and has limited our ability to increase pricing on new and renewed loans over the last several quarters.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses represents a charge (or in the case of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, a recovery) to earnings necessary to establish an allowance for loan losses that, in management’s evaluation, should be adequate to provide coverage for the inherent losses on outstanding loans. Based upon management’s assessment of the loan portfolio, we adjust our allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis to an amount deemed appropriate to adequately cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio.

Based upon our evaluation of the loan portfolio, we believe the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to absorb our estimate of probable losses existing in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2015. While policies and procedures used to estimate the allowance for loan losses, as well as the resultant provision for loan losses charged to operations, are considered adequate by management, they are necessarily approximate and imprecise. There are factors beyond our control, such as conditions in the local and national economy, local real estate market, or particular industry or borrower-specific conditions, which may materially negatively impact our asset quality and the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and, thus, the resulting provision for loan losses.

We recorded no provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 while we recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $500 and $1,250 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Our provision for loan losses was impacted by the absolute level of loans, loan growth, the credit quality of the loan portfolio and the amount of net charge-offs and recoveries.

Non-Interest Income

Our non-interest income is composed of several components, some of which vary significantly between periods. The following is a summary of our non-interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 2014 (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended						Dollar			Percent

The most significant reason for the increases during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 relate to the Merger between Commerce Union Bancshares, Inc. and Reliant Bank that was effective April 1, 2015.

However, following is a description of certain components of non-interest income and other reasons for fluctuations.

Service charges on deposit accounts generally reflect customer growth trends but also are impacted by changes in our fee pricing to help attract and retain customers.

Securities gains and losses often fluctuate from period to period and can sometimes be attributable to various balance sheet risk strategies. During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company sold $4,757 of securities classified as available for sale and recognized a small gain of $15. Also, during the first quarter of 2015, the Bank sold $20,806 of securities that were previously classified as held to maturity and recognized a loss on sale of $396. All other securities classified as held to maturity were transferred to available-for-sale during the first quarter of 2015.

Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, consists of fees from the origination and sale of mortgage loans. These mortgage fees are for loans originated throughout the U.S. and subsequently sold to third-party investors. All of these loan sales transfer servicing rights to the buyer. Generally, mortgage related revenue increases in lower interest rate environments and more robust housing markets and decrease in rising interest rate environments and more challenging housing markets. Mortgage-related revenue will fluctuate from quarter to quarter as the rate environment changes and as we expand our mortgage operations. We began significantly expanding our mortgage operations during the second quarter of 2014 increasing the number of offices and personnel. Gains on mortgage loans sold, net, amounted to $3,454 and $7,987 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $664 and $1,274 for the same periods in the prior year. As discussed further in the notes to our consolidated financial statements, gains on mortgage loans sold are generally recognized at the time of a loan sale corresponding to the transfer of risk. The timing of this revenue recognition varies from the time a loan is originated with a customer.

Noninterest income also includes appreciation in the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance which was $162 and $378 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $96 and $267 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. Primarily, the increase in earnings on these bank-owned life insurance policies resulted from the Merger effective April 1, 2015. At the end of June 2015, an additional $4.0 million of bank-owned life insurance was purchased with terms similar to our existing policies. The assets that support these policies are administered by the life insurance carriers and the income we receive (i.e., increases or decreases in the cash surrender value of the policies) is dependent upon the returns the insurance carriers are able to earn on the underlying investments that support the policies. Earnings on these policies generally are not taxable.

Gains and losses on the sale of other real estate vary from period to period based mainly on trends with foreclosure activity.

Our trust and brokerage revenue is solely based on commissions received from established referral relationships and fluctuate based on related activity.

Rental income relates to rent received on foreclosed properties and is minimal for the periods presented.

Non-Interest Expense

The following is a summary of our non-interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended				Dollar			Percent
	September 30,				Increase			Increase
	2015		2014		(Decrease)			(Decrease)

Total Non-Interest Expense	$	22,522	$	11,864	$	10,658			89.8	%

Salaries and employee benefits increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same periods in 2014. A portion of this increase is a result of the Merger effective April 1, 2015. Also, the expansion of our mortgage operations has led to an increase in salaries and benefits including commissions earned on loans originated. A smaller portion of the overall increase in salaries and benefits relates to payments made under a retail incentive program to help grow business and consumer deposit accounts.

Certain of our facilities are leased while there are others that we own. Primarily, occupancy costs increased due to the Merger effective April 1, 2015. Other components of the increase related to inflationary increases in the lease of our Franklin operations center as well as increases in rent for our newer mortgage loan production offices.

Data processing costs increased when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 to the similar periods of 2014, substantially due to the Merger effective April 1, 2015. The combined company operates on two core data processing systems. Costs are expected to decline after conversion to one core system occurs in the fourth quarter of 2015.

Advertising and public relations costs increased when comparing the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 to similar periods of 2014, by $199 and $527, respectively. These costs were substantially attributable to our current retail customer acquisition strategy and the expanded use of mortgage lead-generating platforms. We have engaged a third party to assist with the implementation of a program to grow business and consumer deposit accounts.

Audit, legal and consulting costs increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to similar periods of 2014 due to merger-related expenses and the costs associated with being a public company.

Our FDIC expense is based on our outstanding liabilities for the period multiplied by a factor determined by the FDIC, mainly driven by our most recent regulatory rating and certain financial performance factors. Our FDIC expense increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014 due to the Merger effective April 1, 2015. The remainder of the increase relates to our increase in average liabilities which is the base for determining our premiums. The increase in average liabilities was slightly offset by an improved combined rate.

We recorded no provision for losses on other real estate during the three months ended September 30, 2015, and $110 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. These provisions related to one property held in our real estate portfolio. We recorded a provision of $20 and $52 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 relating to two properties that were held in our other real estate portfolio.

Other operating expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same periods in 2014 mainly due to the Merger effective April 1, 2015. Other increases relate to an increase of $248 and $948, respectively, in loan-related expenses such as legal fees and appraisals relating to the origination of loans. Also, we recorded a provision of unfunded commitments of $315 during the nine months ended September 30, 2015. This provision was recorded to provide for estimated losses in our unfunded commitments based on estimated historical losses.

Income Taxes

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded consolidated income tax expense of $558 and $1,644, respectively, compared to $368 and $1,432, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. The Company files separate Federal tax returns for the operations of the mortgage banking and banking operations. The taxable income or losses of the mortgage banking operations are included in the respective returns of the Bank and non-controlling members for Federal purposes. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company began consolidating the results of the Bank and the mortgage banking operations in its tax filings with the State of Tennessee. We recognized a cumulative benefit of $165 relating to 2014 and prior tax losses of the mortgage banking operations that were available to offset a portion of the income of the Bank. The losses of the mortgage banking operations were previously reported on the individual state returns of the Bank and mortgage banking operation’s non-controlling members.

Our income tax expense attributable to Bank shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, reflects an effective income tax rate of 27.8% (exclusive of a tax benefit from our mortgage banking operations of $148 on pre-tax income of $359) and 30.7% (exclusive of a tax benefit from our mortgage banking operations of $148 on pre-tax income of $256), respectively, compared to 30.2% (exclusive of a pre-tax loss of $527 from our mortgage banking operations with no tax expense or benefit) and 33.0% (exclusive of a pre-tax loss of $1,327 from our mortgage banking operations with no tax expense or benefit) for the comparable periods of 2014. Our effective tax rate represents our blended federal and state rate of 38.29% reduced by the impact of anticipated favorable permanent differences between our book and taxable income such as bank-owned life insurance, income earned on tax-exempt securities and certain state tax credits. The non-deductibility of certain merger related expenses also drives fluctuations in our effective tax rate.

Noncontrolling Interest in Net Income (Loss) of Subsidiary

Our noncontrolling interest in net income (loss) of subsidiary is solely attributable to Reliant Mortgage Ventures, LLC. Reliant Bank has a 51% voting interest in this venture. Under the terms of the related operating agreement, the noncontrolling member receives 70% of the profits of the mortgage venture, and the Bank receives 30% of the profits. The noncontrolling member is responsible for 100% of the mortgage venture’s net losses. The venture had net income of $507 and $404, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to net losses of $527 and $1,327, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2014. These amounts are included in our consolidated results. See Note 8 for segment reporting in the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere herein.

COMPARISON OF BALANCE SHEETS AS OF SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

Overview

The Company’s total assets were $852,689 at September 30, 2015 and $449,731 at December 31, 2014. Our assets increased by 90.0% from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015. The increase in assets from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015, was substantially attributable to the Merger effective April 1, 2015. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was $22.3 million; increase in net loans of approximately $276.8 million; increase in mortgage loans held for sale of $18.1 million which is attributable to our expansion in that venture along with historically low long term interest rates; a net increase in our securities portfolio of $52.8 million discussed further below; and a $8.6 million increase in bank-owned life insurance. As a result of the Merger, goodwill and core deposit intangibles increased $10.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. These and other components of our balance sheets are discussed further below.

Loans

Lending-related income is the most important component of our net interest income and is a major contributor to profitability. The loan portfolio is the largest component of earning assets, and it therefore generates the largest portion of revenues. The absolute volume of loans and the volume of loans as a percentage of earning assets is an important determinant of net interest margin as loans are expected to produce higher yields than securities and other earning assets. As previously discussed the competition for quality loans in our markets has remained intense. Our goal is to steadily grow our loan portfolio, focusing on quality. This is not always possible for various factors, including but not limited to, scheduled maturities or early payoffs exceeding new loan volume. Early payoffs typically increase in lowering rate environments as customers identify advantageous opportunities for refinancing. We have been adding experienced lending officers to our staff to help with loan growth as the local market has continued to improve. The growth in loan volume has, to a small degree, negatively affected our loan yields. Total loans, net, at September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, were $586,306 and $309,497, respectively. This represented an increase of 89.4% from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015.

The primary reason for the significant increase in total loans and the individual components of the loan portfolio is due to the Merger that was effective April 1, 2015.

Commercial loans above consist of commercial and industrial loans made to U.S. domiciled customers. These include loans for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases or other expansionary projects. Commercial loans of $137,886 at September 30, 2015, increased 70.6% compared to $80,817 as of December 31, 2014.

Real estate loans comprised 73.5% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2015. Residential loans included in this category consist mainly of revolving, open-end loans secured by 1-4 family residential properties extended under home equity lines of credit and closed-end loans secured by first and second liens that are not held for sale. The Company increased the residential portfolio from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015. Commercial loans included in the real estate category above include (in typical order of prominence) loans secured by non- owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential properties, loans secured by owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential properties, and loans secured by multi-family residential properties. Multi-family and commercial real estate loans of $191,792 at September 30, 2015, increased 70.0% compared to the $112,805 held as of December 31, 2014. Real estate construction loans consist of 1-4 family residential construction loans, other construction loans, land loans, and loans secured by farmland. Construction lending also increased during 2014 and into the first nine months of 2015, based on a strengthening local economy.

Consumer loans mainly consist of loans to individuals for household, family, and other personal expenditures under revolving credit plans and other consumer loans. We have no credit card loans although we do offer credit cards to customers through a third party. We have a relatively small number of automobile loans. Our consumer loans experienced an increase from December 31, 2014, to September 30, 2015, of 20.5%.

Our other loans consist mainly of loans to other depository institutions and were minimal for the periods presented.

The repayment of loans is a source of additional liquidity for us. The following table sets forth the loans repricing or maturing within specific intervals at September 30, 2015, excluding unearned net fees and costs.


	One Year or		One to Five		Over Five
	Less		Years		Years		Total
Gross loans	$	152,766	$	303,523	$	138,455	$	594,744

Fixed interest rate							$	418,451
Variable interest rate								176,293

Total							$	594,744

The information presented in the above table is based upon the contractual maturities or next repricing date of the individual loans, including loans which may be subject to renewal at their contractual maturity. Renewal of such loans is subject to review and credit approval, as well as modification of terms upon their maturity. Consequently, we believe this treatment presents fairly the maturity and repricing structure of the loan portfolio.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that we believe is adequate to absorb the probable incurred losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required using historical loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, current economic conditions (national and local), and other factors such as changes in interest rates, portfolio concentrations, changes in the experience, ability, and depth of the lending function, levels of and trends in charged-off loans, recoveries,

past-due loans and volume and severity of classified loans. 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. The entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged off.

The Company has an unallocated general reserve. This unallocated portion of the reserve is above the allocated amount calculated for each loan pool segment based on each loan pool’s historical loss experience adjusted for current economic and environmental factors. This unallocated reserve was added due to the volatility in credit losses and the uncertainty risk that is not specifically identified with any particular loan pool segment. It also recognizes that the recent recessionary period has manifested in higher and more unpredictable loss rates over an extended period of time. Management believes the volatility in real estate values over the past several years as well as the continued slowness in general economic recovery supports maintaining an unallocated portion of the general reserve.

At September 30, 2015, the allowance for loan losses was $7,511 compared to $7,353 at December 31, 2014. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 1.3% and 2.3% at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The allowance was adjusted downward in total and as a percentage of loans from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015 for two reasons. First, the merger completed April 1, 2015 called for the elimination of the Commerce Union Bank allowance for loan losses as of the first day of the merger. This allowance was effectively considered as a component (among others such as market interest rates) when determining the market value of the loan portfolio that was marked to market at the time of the merger. Also, charge-off and general economic activity has continued to improve for our area and our customers and nonperforming assets have declined. The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for loan losses for the periods presented.

Nonperforming Assets

Non-performing assets consist of non-performing loans plus real estate acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure. Non-performing loans by definition consist of non-accrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. When we place a loan on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected interest is reversed and charged against current income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis, or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

The following table provides information with respect to Company’s non-performing assets.

Investment Securities and Other Earning Assets

The investment securities portfolio is intended to provide the Company with adequate liquidity, flexible asset/liability management and a source of stable income. The portfolio is structured with minimal credit exposure to the Company and consists of securities classified as available-for-sale. All available-for sale securities are carried at fair value and may be used for liquidity purposes should management deem it to be in our best interest. Unrealized gains and losses on this portfolio are excluded from earnings, but are reported as other comprehensive income in a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of income tax. Premium amortization and discount accretion are recognized as adjustments to interest income using the interest method. Realized gains or losses on sales are based on the net proceeds and the adjusted carrying value amount of the securities sold using the specific identification method.

Securities are a component of the Company’s earning assets. Securities totaled $130,019 at September 30, 2015. This represents a 68.3% increase from the December 31, 2014 total of $77,245. The primary reason for the increase in securities available-for-sale is due to the Merger effective April 1, 2015. On January 16, 2015, the Company sold $20,806 of securities that were classified as held-to-maturity at December 31, 2014 and recognized a loss on the sale of $396. Subsequent to this sale, all other securities classified as held-to-maturity were transferred to available-for-sale effective as of the date of the sale. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company purchased securities available-for-sale totaling $55,704, primarily consisting of tax-exempt municipal bonds.

Restricted equity securities totaled $5,851 and $3,263 at September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014, respectively. The primary reason for the increase is due to the Merger effective April 1, 2015. Also, the change in restricted equity securities is attributable to the periodic evaluation of the Company’s required Federal Reserve Bank stock and Federal Home Loan Bank stock positions.

The following table shows the Company’s investments’ amortized cost and fair value, aggregated by investment category for the periods presented:

Buildings, Leasehold Improvements and Equipment

Buildings, leasehold improvements and equipment totaled $9,341 at September 30, 2015 compared to $3,353 at December 31, 2014, a net increase of $5,988 or 178.6%. The primary reason for the increase is related to the Merger effective April 1, 2015. Asset purchases amounted to approximately $820 during the first nine months of 2015 while related depreciation expense amounted to approximately $639. At September 30, 2015, we operated from nine banking locations as well as ten additional mortgage locations. Two of our bank branch locations, including our main office, are in Brentwood, Tennessee. Our other seven bank branch locations are in Franklin, Springfield, Gallatin, Murfreesboro and Nashville, Tennessee. As of September 30, 2015 our seven additional mortgage locations were in the Tennessee cities of Brentwood, Hendersonville, and Nashville, as well as Timonium, Maryland, Louisville, Kentucky, Reynoldsburg, Ohio, Columbus, Ohio, Tampa, Florida and Schaumburg, Illinois. Until the Merger, all of our facilities were leased. After the Merger, we own three branch and office facilities located in Robertson and Sumner counties of Tennessee.

Deposits

Deposits represent the Company’s largest source of funds. The Company competes with other bank and nonbank institutions for deposits, as well as with a growing number of non-deposit investment alternatives available to depositors such as money market funds and other brokerage investment products. Challenges to deposit growth include price changes on deposit products given movements in the rate environment and other competitive pricing pressures, and customer preferences regarding higher-costing deposit products or non-deposit investment alternatives.

At September 30, 2015, total deposits were $608,990, an increase of $274,625, or 82.1%, compared to $334,365 at December 31, 2014. The primary reason for the increase is the Merger effective April 1, 2015. During the first nine months of 2015, we increased non-interest bearing demand deposits by $50.1 million, increased savings and money market deposits by $70.1 million, increased time deposits by $99.3 million and FHLB advances increased $82.1 million.

The following table shows maturity of non-brokered time deposits of $100,000 or more at September 30, 2015, and December 31, 2014:

Market and Liquidity Risk Management

Our objective is to manage assets and liabilities to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies. Our Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) is charged with the responsibility of monitoring these policies, which are designed to ensure acceptable composition of asset/liability mix. Two critical areas of focus for ALCO are interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risk management.

Interest Rate Sensitivity—Interest rate sensitivity refers to the responsiveness of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to changes in market interest rates. In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk arising from fluctuations in interest rates. ALCO measures and evaluates the interest rate risk so that we can meet customer demands for various types of loans and deposits. ALCO determines the most appropriate amounts of on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items. Measurements we use to help us manage interest rate sensitivity include a gap analysis, an earnings simulation model and an economic value of equity model. These measurements are used in conjunction with competitive pricing analysis and are further described below.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Gap Analysis—The rate sensitive position, or gap, is the difference in the volume of rate-sensitive assets and liabilities, at a given time interval, including both floating rate instruments and instruments which are approaching maturity. The measurement of our interest rate sensitivity, or gap, is one of the three principal techniques we use in our asset/liability management effort.

Our policy is to have 12 and 24-month cumulative repricing gaps that do not exceed 15% of assets. We were in compliance with our policy as of September 30, 2015. Although we do monitor our gap on a periodic basis, we recognize the potential shortcomings of such a model. The static nature of the gap schedule makes it difficult to incorporate changes in behavior that are caused by changes in interest rates. Also, although the periods of estimated and contractual repricing are identified in the analysis, the extent of repricing is not modeled in the gap schedule (i.e. whether repricing is expected to move on a one-to-one or other basis in relationship to the market changes simulated). For these and other shortcomings, we rely more heavily on the earnings simulation model and the economic value of equity model discussed further below.

Earnings Simulation Model—We believe interest rate risk is effectively measured by our earnings simulation modeling. Earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities and off-balance sheet financial instruments are combined with simulated forecasts of interest rates for the next 12 months and 24 months. To limit interest rate risk, we have guidelines for our earnings at risk which seek to limit the variance of net interest income in instantaneous changes to interest rates. We also periodically monitor simulations based on various rate scenarios such as non-parallel shifts in market interest rates over time. For changes up or down in rates from management’s flat interest rate forecast over the next 12 and 24 months, limits in the decline in net interest income are as follows:


	Maximum Percentage Decline in Net Interest Income
	from the Budgeted or Base Case Projection of Net
	Interest Income
	Next 12			Next 24
	Months			Months
An instantaneous, parallel rate increase or decrease of the following at the beginning of the first quarter:
± 100 bp		10	%		10	%
± 200 bp		15	%		15	%
± 300 bp		20	%		20	%
± 400 bp		25	%		25	%
Non-parallel shifts		15	%		15	%

We were in compliance with our earnings simulation model policies as of September 30, 2015, indicating what we believe to be a fairly neutral profile.

Economic value of equity—Our economic value of equity model measures the extent that estimated economic values of our assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items will change as a result of interest rate changes. Economic values are determined by discounting expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items, which establishes a base case economic value of equity.

To help monitor our related risk, we’ve established the following policy limits regarding simulated changes in our economic value of equity:


		Maximum Percentage Decline in Economic Value of
Instantaneous, Parallel Change in Prevailing		Equity from the Economic Value of Equity at
Interest Rates Equal to		Currently Prevailing Interest Rates
+100 bp		15%
+200 bp		25%
+300 bp		30%
+400 bp		35%
Non-parallel shifts		35%

At September 30, 2015, our model results indicated that we were within these policy limits.

Each of the above analyses may not, on its own, be an accurate indicator of how our net interest income will be affected by changes in interest rates. Income associated with interest-earning assets and costs associated with interest-bearing liabilities may not be affected uniformly by changes in interest rates. In addition, the magnitude and duration of changes in interest rates may have a significant impact on net interest income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities fluctuate in advance of changes in general market rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in general market rates. In addition, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features (generally referred to as interest rate caps and floors) which limit changes in interest rates. Prepayment and early withdrawal levels also could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the maturity of certain instruments. The ability of many borrowers to service their debts also may decrease during periods of rising interest rates. Our ALCO reviews each of the above interest rate sensitivity analyses along with several different interest rate scenarios as part of its responsibility to provide a satisfactory, consistent level of profitability within the framework of established liquidity, loan, investment, borrowing, and capital policies.

Liquidity Risk Management —The purpose of liquidity risk management is to ensure that there are sufficient cash flows to satisfy loan demand, deposit withdrawals, and our other needs. Traditional sources of liquidity for a bank include asset maturities and growth in core deposits. A bank may achieve its desired liquidity objectives from the management of its assets and liabilities and by internally generated funding through its operations. Funds invested in marketable instruments that can be readily sold and the continuous maturing of other earning assets are sources of liquidity from an asset perspective. The liability base provides sources of liquidity through attraction of increased deposits and borrowing funds from various other institutions.

Changes in interest rates also affect our liquidity position. We currently price deposits in response to market rates and our management intends to continue this policy. If deposits are not priced in response to market rates, a loss of deposits could occur which would negatively affect our liquidity position. We also have a marketing campaign that is expected to run at least through the end of 2015 that is focused on raising the number of deposit customers.

Scheduled loan payments are a relatively stable source of funds, but loan payoffs and deposit flows fluctuate significantly, being influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. Additionally, debt security investments are subject to prepayment and call provisions that could accelerate their payoff prior to stated maturity. We attempt to price our deposit products to meet our asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions. Our ALCO is responsible for monitoring our ongoing liquidity needs. Our regulators also monitor our liquidity and capital resources on a periodic basis.

The Company has established a line of credit with the Federal Home Bank of Cincinnati which is secured by a blanket pledge of 1-4 family residential mortgages, multi-family residential, and home equity loans, and available-for-sale securities.

At September 30, 2015, advances totaled $145,646 compared to $63,500 as of December 31, 2014.

At September 30, 2015, the scheduled maturities of these advances and interest rates were as follows:


Scheduled Maturities	Amount		Weighted Average Rates
2015	$	112,500		0.22	%
2016		18,452		1.10	%

Capital

Banks as regulated institutions are required to meet certain levels of capital. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the primary federal regulator for the Bank, has adopted minimum capital regulations or guidelines that categorize components and the level of risk associated with various types of assets. Financial institutions are expected to maintain a level of capital commensurate with the risk profile assigned to their assets in accordance with the guidelines. We regularly review our capital adequacy to ensure compliance with these guidelines and to help ensure that sufficient capital is available for current and future needs. It is management’s intent to maintain an optimal capital and leverage mix for growth and for shareholder return.

Selected capital ratios were as follows:


	Actual Regulatory Capital					For Capital Adequacy Purposes					To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
	Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio			Amount		Ratio

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the performance of a financial institution than the effects of general levels of inflation. Although interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services, increases in inflation generally have resulted in increased interest rates. In addition, inflation affects financial institutions’ increased cost of goods and services purchased, the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and shareholders’ equity. Commercial and other loan originations and refinancings tend to slow as interest rates increase, and can reduce our earnings from such activities.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. In addition, even if the Company complies with the greater obligations of public companies that are not emerging growth companies, the Company may avail itself of the reduced requirements applicable to emerging growth companies from time to time in the future, so long as the Company is an emerging growth company. The Company will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, though it may cease to be an emerging growth company earlier under certain circumstances, including if, before the end of such five years, it is deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the SEC (which depends on, among other things, having a market value of common stock held by non-affiliates in excess of $700 million) or if total annual gross revenues equal or exceed $1 billion in a fiscal year. Management cannot predict if investors will find the Company’s common stock less attractive because it will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Company’s common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for its common stock and the Company’s stock price may be more volatile.

Further, the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected to take advantage of the extended transition period that allows an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies, which means that the financial statements included in this filing, as well as the financial statements we will file in the future, will be subject to all new or revised accounting standards generally applicable to private companies. As a result, we will comply with new or revised accounting standards to the same extent that compliance is required for non-public companies.
