Report of Independent Auditors



Board of Directors and Stockholders
Ann Arbor Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Ann Arbor, Michigan

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ann Arbor Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting principles used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ann Arbor Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Ann Arbor Bancorp, Inc. (Corporation), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ann Arbor State Bank (Bank), is engaged in the business of general commercial and retail banking. The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses through its offices in Ann Arbor and Jackson, Michigan. The Bank offers a variety of deposit products, including checking accounts, savings accounts, and time deposits. The Bank conducts lending activities in the residential and commercial mortgage markets, the consumer installment market, and in the commercial lending market. The Corporation also offers 401(k) advisory services under the trade name Ann Arbor State Advisors. The principal market of the Bank’s financial services is in the communities in Washtenaw and Jackson Counties, Michigan.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ann Arbor Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ann Arbor State Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On October 17, 2018, the Corporation’s Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the Corporation’s common shares. On November 28, 2018, shareholders of record received one additional share for each share held as of November 28, 2018. All share and per share amounts herein have been restated to reflect the stock split.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

Most of the Corporation’s activities are with customers located within Michigan. Note 2 discusses the types of securities in which the Corporation invests. Note 3 discusses the types of lending in which the Corporation engages. The Corporation does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances due from banks.

The Bank is required by federal banking regulations to maintain certain cash and due-from-bank reserves. The reserve requirement was $1,893,000 as of December 31, 2018 and $1,445,000 as of December 31, 2017.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Securities

Securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss).

Purchased premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. Declines in the fair value of available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses if management intends to sell or will more likely than not be required to sell before an anticipated recovery in fair value. Otherwise, declines in the fair value of debt securities below their cost that are other than temporary are split into two components, as follows: (1) other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the consolidated statements of income; and (2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). For equity securities, the entire amount of OTTI is recognized through earnings. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Corporation to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock is carried at cost.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market. Market is determined on an aggregate basis based on commitments from investors to purchase such loans and upon prevailing market rates.

Loans

The Corporation grants mortgage, commercial, and consumer loans to customers. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout southeastern Michigan. The ability of the Corporation’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area.

Loans that management intends and has the ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge offs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Loans (continued)

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Loans are considered delinquent when customers fail to make their payments in accordance with the contractual loan agreement. If a loan matures and principal remains outstanding, the loan is considered delinquent until the loan is paid off or renewed.

Gross loans are reported at the Corporation’s recorded investment. The recorded investment is the borrower’s principal balance less partial charge offs, if any.

Troubled debt restructuring of loans is undertaken to improve the likelihood that the loan will be repaid in full under the modified terms in accordance with a reasonable repayment schedule. All modified loans are evaluated to determine whether the loans should be reported as a troubled debt restructure (TDR). A loan is a TDR when the Corporation, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower by modifying or renewing a loan that the Corporation would not otherwise consider. To make this determination, the Corporation must determine whether (a) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (b) the Corporation granted the borrower a concession. This determination requires consideration of all of the facts and circumstances surrounding the modification. An overall general decline in the economy or some deterioration in a borrower’s financial condition does not automatically mean the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. 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.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

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

The allowance consists of specific, general, and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. For impaired loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonimpaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio. The Corporation includes the unallocated allowance in specific loan categories for presentation purposes.

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

Loans for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered TDRs and are classified as impaired.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

Large groups of homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Corporation does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment disclosures.

Premises and Equipment

Buildings, leasehold improvements, land improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the terms of their respective leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Estimated useful lives of buildings are 30 years, land improvements are 20 years, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment range from three to ten years.

Income Taxes

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the various temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various balance sheet assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed a tax bill which reduced the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21% effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. As a result, the Corporation’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured for the effects of the tax rate change on the date the law was enacted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740, Income Taxes. The impact of the new tax rate increased federal income tax by $172,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017. Since the impact of the remeasurement of the deferred tax effects of items reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) was recorded through income tax expense there is a stranded tax effect in AOCI as the recorded deferred tax assets and tax liabilities no longer equaled the tax effect included in the AOCI for that item.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Income Taxes (continued)

In February 2018, the FASB issued, and the Corporation early adopted, the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (ASU) - Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended December 31, 2017. This ASU allows a one-time reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings for these stranded tax effects. The amount of the reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings at December 31, 2017 was $26,585. This reclassification eliminates the stranded tax effect that was created as a result of the tax rate change to improve the usefulness of information reported in the financial statements.

Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Corporation has entered into commitments under commercial letters of credit and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. If fair value declines subsequent to foreclosure, a valuation allowance is recorded through expense. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed.

Transfers of Financial Assets

Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the asset has been relinquished. Control is deemed to be surrendered when the assets have been isolated from the Corporation, the transferee obtains the right (free from conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and the Corporation does not maintain effective control through an agreement to repurchase before maturity.

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated balance sheet and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred taxes, and the valuation of investment securities.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income (loss).

Loss Contingencies

Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.

Reclassification

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent events have been evaluated through March 8, 2019, which is the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized into income because they are of high-credit quality, management has the intent and ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future, and the decline in fair value is also due to increased market interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach the maturity date.

3. Loans (continued)

Credit Risk Grading (continued)

The Corporation uses the following definitions for credit risk ratings:

Pass (1-4): Credits covered by the below definitions are pass credits, which are not considered to be adversely rated. See below for complete definitions.

Prime Quality (1): Minimal risk to the Corporation and the probability of serious rapid financial deterioration is limited. Loans are fully secured by liquid, properly margined collateral (listed stocks, bonds, and certificates of deposits), backed by properly executed letters of credit by satisfactory financial institutions or by perfected government agency guarantees.

High Quality (2): Nominal risk to the Corporation and the probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. Loans are to well-seasoned borrowers displaying strong financial condition and consistently superior earnings performance, with trends and outlook very positive.

Average Quality (3): Average risk to the Corporation with the possibility of deterioration if adverse market conditions prevail. Loans are to established borrowers that display sound financial condition and operating results. Capacity to service debt is consistently demonstrated at a level consistent with or above the industry norms, with industry trends and outlook considered good.

Acceptable Risk (4): This is an acceptable risk to the Corporation but may be slightly below-average quality. There is a high probability that deterioration will occur if adverse market conditions prevail; loan bears watching. Loans are to borrowers whose current financial condition may be deficient in one or two categories, or may have limited history. Added comfort can be provided by the strength of collateral or guarantees.

Management Watch (5): Loans are of a marginal quality with above-normal risk to the Corporation. Borrowers may be heavy users of financial leverage and earnings deterioration may be underway. Very close supervision by the lending officer is required. Monthly loan officer committee reports and review are required on this class of credit. The Corporation’s Board of Directors shall perform quarterly reviews of this class of credits.

December 31, 2018

3. Loans (continued)

Credit Risk Grading (continued)

Substandard (6): Loans are inadequately protected by the net worth and paying capacity of the borrower, or the pledged collateral. It is possible that the Corporation will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Monthly review with the President and Senior Loan Officer detailing collection plans, financial condition of the borrowers, and liquidation alternatives is required. The Corporation’s Board of Directors shall perform quarterly reviews of this class of credits.

Doubtful (7): A loan classified doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly unlikely. The possibility of partial loss is high; however, activity may be underway to minimize the loss or maximize the collection. Loan loss reserve allocation at 100% of the probable loss is required. Legal assistance in the collection of these credits may be necessary and the loan officer and senior lender should consult with the Corporation’s attorney about collection plans. The Corporation’s Board of Directors shall perform quarterly reviews of this class of credits.

Age Analysis of Past Due Loans

There were no loans past due as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Nonaccrual Loans

The Corporation did not have any nonaccrual loans as of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Impaired Loans

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the loan contract. Individual commercial loans are evaluated for impairment. Impaired loans are written down by the establishment of a specific allowance where necessary.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A modification of a loan constitutes a TDR when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the modification constitutes a concession. The Corporation offers various types of concessions when modifying a loan; however, forgiveness of principal is rarely granted.

There was one loan modified in a TDR during 2018. There were no loans modified in 2017.

The following table presents information related to loans modified in a TDR during 2018 by loan segment:

The total TDR portfolio is $843,945 as of December 31, 2018 and $1,108,326 as of December 31, 2017. The Corporation has allocated $17,021 of specific reserves to TDRs as of December 31, 2018 and $33,209 as of December 31, 2017. These loans were classified as impaired loans. This portfolio of TDRs consists of approximately 0.36% of the Corporation’s total net loans as of December 31, 2018 and 0.54% as of December 31, 2017.

During 2018 there were no TDRs that defaulted within 12 months following the modification.

The Corporation has not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as TDRs.

The Bank has three lines of credit available from three correspondent banks upon which it can borrow up to $3,000,000, $4,500,000, and $5,000,000 at a variable interest rate. There was no outstanding balance on the lines of credit as of December 31, 2018 and 2017. The $3,000,000, $4,500,000, and $5,000,000 agreements are unsecured and can be revoked by either party upon written notice.

8. Income Taxes

The components of the income tax provision as of December 31 included in the consolidated statements of income are all attributable to continuing operations and are detailed as follows:

 
2018
2017
 
 
 
Current income tax expense
$1,015,000

$1,537,000

Any potential tax liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, has been recorded in other deferred tax liabilities and has not been reclassified as a separate liability due to immateriality. All tax years from 2015 and subsequent remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Corporation does not believe that the results from any examination of these open years would have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

9. Fair Value Measurement

Accounting standards require certain assets and liabilities be reported at fair value in the consolidated financial statements and provide a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value.

The following tables present information about the Corporation’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the valuation techniques used by the Corporation to determine those fair values.

Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a corporation’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Corporation’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset.

9. Fair Value Measurement (continued)

The Corporation has assets that under certain conditions are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. These assets include impaired loans. The Corporation has estimated the fair values of these assets based primarily on Level 3 inputs. Impaired loans are generally valued using the fair value of collateral provided by third-party appraisals. These valuations include assumptions related to cash flow projections, discount rates, and recent comparable sales. The numerical range of unobservable inputs for these valuation assumptions is not meaningful.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Corporation had one impaired loan that is fully reserved; therefore, the fair value based on level 3 inputs is zero.

10. Employee Benefit Plan

The Corporation has a 401(k) plan (Plan) whereby substantially all employees are eligible to participate in the plan. Employees may contribute up to the maximum percentage allowable, not to exceed the limits based on federal tax laws. The Corporation can make discretionary contributions. Expense attributable to the plan amounted to approximately $147,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018 and $129,000 for the year ending December 31, 2017.

11. Stock-based Compensation Plans

The Corporation has three stock-based compensation plans: the Director Retainer Stock Plan (Director Stock Plan), the 2009 Directors’ Stock Option Plan (Directors’ Plan), and the 2013 Stock Compensation Plan.

Director Stock Plan

The Director Stock Plan allows eligible directors to elect to defer up to 100% of their directors’ fees in return for Corporation stock. Under the Director Stock Plan, deferred fees are earned and recorded as stock-based compensation in the year of service. The fees are accumulated and used to purchase shares of the Corporation upon the director’s termination of service from the Corporation. The shares purchased are based on the stock price in effect at the time the fees are earned. Fractional shares are paid in cash at the current market value. The Corporation reserved 1,847 shares of stock in 2018 and 1,568 in 2017. During 2017, the Corporation issued 790 shares of stock to a director upon retirement. As of December 31, 2018, there were 12,217 shares outstanding in the Director Stock Plan. Compensation expense, recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity attributable to the plan, was $73,466 for the year ending December 31, 2018 and $56,448 for the year ending December 31, 2017.

























Ann Arbor Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

11. Stock-based Compensation Plans (continued)

Directors’ Plan

The Directors’ Plan, which is stockholder approved, grants stock options to each of its directors for up to 4,000 shares of common stock, for a total of 56,000 shares of common stock, of which 56,000 shares have been granted and 4,000 shares have been forfeited. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Corporation’s stock at the date of grant. These option awards vest immediately and have 10-year contractual terms. There were no options granted in 2018 or 2017. Compensation expense, recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity attributable to the plan, was $607 for the year ending December 31, 2018 and $1,106 for the year ending December 31, 2017.

2013 Stock Compensation Plan

The 2013 Stock Compensation Plan (as amended in January 2014), which is stockholder approved, grants stock options and restricted stock to its employees for up to 230,000 shares of common stock, of which 213,668 shares have been granted (net of forfeitures) as of December 31, 2018. The Corporation believes that such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its stockholders. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Corporation’s stock at the date of grant. These option awards vest based on three years of continuous service and have 10-year contractual terms. Compensation expense, recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity attributable to the plan, was $17,890 for the year ending December 31, 2018 and $28,845 for the year ending December 31, 2017.

Restricted stock has a vesting period of one year and is subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting. The Corporation awarded 970 shares of restricted stock to employees in 2018 and awarded 1,820 shares in 2017. There were 90 shares forfeited during 2018 and 160 shares forfeited during 2017. There was no restricted stock vested as of December 31, 2018 or December 31, 2017. Compensation expense recorded as a component of stockholders’ equity attributable to the 2013 Stock Compensation Plan was $31,680 for the year ending December 31, 2018 and $53,950 for the year ending December 31, 2017.

The Corporation uses a Black-Scholes formula to estimate the calculated value of its stock-based payments. The volatility assumption used in the Black-Scholes formula is based on management’s estimated volatility of the Corporation’s stock price. The Corporation calculates the volatility using the estimated stock price for a seven-year period immediately following the year end in which the options are granted.

Total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested, stock-based compensation arrangements granted under the plans were $1,101 as of December 31, 2018 and $18,992 as of December 31, 2017. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years.

12. Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.









Ann Arbor Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2018

12. Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements (continued)

In 2013, the federal banking agencies issued revisions to the existing capital rules to incorporate certain changes to the Basel capital framework, including Basel III and other elements. The intent is to strengthen the definition of regulatory capital, increase risk-based capital requirements, and make selected changes to the calculation of risk-weighted assets. The final rules implementing Basel III became effective January 1, 2015 with full compliance being phased in over a multi-year schedule and fully phased in by January 1, 2019. Under Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer is being phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.5% by 2019. The capital conservation buffer for 2018 is 1.88%. The net unrealized gain or loss on available-for-sale securities is not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes, as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, that the Bank met 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 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.

12. Minimum Regulatory Capital Requirements (continued)

As of December 31, 2018, the most recent notification from the Bank’s primary regulator categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the following table. There are no conditions or events since the notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios as of December 31, are also presented in the table.

13. Restrictions on Dividends, Loans, and Advances

Banking regulations place certain restrictions on dividends paid and loans or advances made by the Bank to the Corporation. The total amount of dividends which may be paid at any date is generally limited to the retained earnings of the Bank. However, dividends paid by the Bank would be prohibited if the effect thereof would cause the Bank’s capital to be reduced below applicable minimum standards. As of December 31, 2018, the Bank’s retained earnings available for the payment of dividends totaled $16,346,858. Accordingly, none of the Corporation’s investment in the Bank was restricted as of December 31, 2018.

Loans or advances made by the Bank to the Corporation are generally limited to 10% of the Bank’s capital stock and surplus. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2018, Bank funds available for loans or advances to the Corporation amounted to $2,012,519.

14. Off-balance-sheet Activities

The Corporation is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Corporation’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of these commitments. The Corporation follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

As of December 31, the following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

 
Contract Amount
 
2018
2017
 
 
 
Commitments to grant loans
$ 1,847,000
$ 9,277,000
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit
78,550,679
71,047,939
Commercial and standby letters of credit
31,733
26,892

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The commitments for equity lines of credit may expire without being drawn upon. Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Corporation, is based on management's credit evaluation of the customer.

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Corporation’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments are excluded from disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Corporation. See Note 9 for the disclosure related to fair value measurements.

15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (continued)

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.

Securities - Fair values of securities are based on quoted market prices. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the issuers.

Loans Held for Sale - Fair values of loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

Loans - For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values of nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

Deposit Liabilities - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.

Borrowings - The fair values of the Corporation’s other borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Corporation’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Accrued Interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Other Financial Instruments - The fair value of other financial instruments, including loan commitments and unfunded letters of credit, based on discounted cash flow analyses, is not material.

16. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Comprehensive Income topic of FASB ASC requires the reporting of comprehensive income (loss) in addition to net income. Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that, historically, has not been recognized in the calculation of net income.

The approximate before-tax and after-tax amounts for the year ended December 31, 2018 are summarized below:

 
Before-Tax Amount
Tax Benefit
Net-of-Tax Amount

17. Investment in Qualified Affordable Housing Projects

During 2018, the Bank purchased an investment in Cinnaire Michigan Community Fund Limited Partnership 20-5, which is a limited liability company that manages and invests in affordable housing projects that qualify for the low-income housing tax credit. The Bank accounts for its investment in Cinnaire using the proportional amortization method, under which the Bank amortizes the cost of the investment in proportion to the tax credits and other tax benefits received and recognizes the net investment performance as a component of income tax expense. The Bank did not recognize an income tax benefit related to these investments in 2018.

The Bank’s recorded investment in Cinnaire was $60,668 at December 31, 2018. These investments are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The Bank’s remaining commitment to provide capital contributions to Cinnaire is $439,332 as of December 31, 2018.
