Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning and protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

●

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

●

statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

●

statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

●

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of management of Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc. (“Eagle” or the “Company”) and Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”), Eagle’s wholly-owned subsidiary, and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

The following factors, among others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

●

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

●

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas that are worse than expected;

●

competition among depository and other financial institutions;

●

changes in the prices, values and sales volume of residential and commercial real estate in Montana;

●

inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

●

changes or volatility in the securities markets;

●

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

●

our ability to successfully perform due diligence and integrate acquired businesses including our proposed acquisition of Big Muddy Bancorp, Inc.;

●

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

●

our ability to continue to increase and manage our commercial and residential real estate, multi-family and commercial business loans;

●

possible impairments of securities held by us, including those issued by government entities and government sponsored enterprises;

●

the level of future deposit insurance premium assessments;

●

the costs or effects of mergers, acquisitions or dispositions we may make, including the pending merger of The State Bank of Townsend with and into Opportunity Bank of Montana, whether we are able to obtain any required governmental approvals in connection with any such mergers, acquisitions or dispositions, and/or our ability to realize the contemplated financial or business benefits, including any anticipated cost savings or synergies, associated with any such mergers, acquisitions or dispositions;

●

our ability to develop and maintain secure and reliable information technology systems, effectively defend ourselves against cyberattacks, or recover from breaches to our cybersecurity infrastructure;

●

the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowance for possible loan losses and other estimates;

●

the possibility of goodwill impairment charges in the future;

●

changes in the financial performance, and/or condition of our borrowers and their ability to repay their loans when due; and

●

the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters.

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements. For a further list and description of various risks, relevant factors and uncertainties that could cause future results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, see the Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections contained elsewhere in this report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, any subsequent Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, and other filings with the SEC. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which we hereafter become aware.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual financial statements. However, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations, changes in comprehensive income and cash flows for the unaudited interim periods.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018 or any other period. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes presented herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in Eagle Bancorp Montana, Inc.’s (“the Company” or “Eagle”) Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the presentation for 2018. These reclassifications had no impact on net income or total shareholders’ equity. Certain loan amounts were reclassified for prior periods to be consistent with loan category classification for September 30, 2018. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, Eagle completed the acquisition of TwinCo, Inc. (“TwinCo”). See Note 12. Mergers and Acquisitions for more information. The acquisition included the addition of over $55,000,000 in gross loans and added a considerable amount to Eagle’s agricultural loans. There was no impact to Eagle’s loan policies due to the acquisition. Loan costs were previously included in other noninterest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. These amounts were presented on their own lines for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and prior year amounts were reclassed to be consistent with the current year presentation.

The Company evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through November 14, 2018, the date the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (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 Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, there were, respectively, 139 and 87 securities in an unrealized loss position that were considered to be temporarily impaired and therefore an impairment charge has not been recorded.

As of September 30, 2018, 104 U.S. government and agency securities and municipal obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 3.09% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. At December 31, 2017, 52 U.S. government and agency securities and municipal obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 1.28% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. As of September 30, 2018, 9 corporate obligations had unrealized losses of approximately 2.80% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. At December 31, 2017, 15 corporate obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 0.84% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

As of September 30, 2018, 22 mortgage-backed securities (“MBSs”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 3.55% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. At December 31, 2017, 20 MBSs and CMOs had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 1.71% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. Management’s analysis as of September 30, 2018 revealed no expected credit losses on the securities and therefore, declines are not deemed to be other than temporary.

As of September 30, 2018, 4 asset-backed securities (“ABSs”) had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 0.57% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities. The ABSs were purchased during the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Management’s analysis as of September 30, 2018 revealed no expected credit losses on the securities and therefore, declines are not deemed to be other than temporary.

The Company utilizes an 8-point internal loan rating system, largely based on regulatory classifications, as follows:

Loans R ated Pass – these are loans in categories 1 – 5 that are considered to be protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the value of the asset or the underlying collateral.

Loans R ated Special Mention – these loans in category 6 have potential weaknesses and are watched closely by management. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset at some future date.

Loans R ated Substandard – these loans in category 7 are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Loans R ated Doubtful – these loans in category 8 have all the weaknesses inherent in those 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.

Loans R ated Loss – these loans are considered uncollectible and are not part of the 8-point rating system. They are of such small value that their continuance as assets without establishment of a specific reserve is not warranted. This classification does not mean that an asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but, rather, that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off a basically worthless asset even though practical recovery may be affected in the future.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings of all commercial real estate, construction, and commercial business loans that have a principal balance of $750,000 or more. Quarterly, the Company reviews the rating of any consumer loan, broadly defined, that is delinquent 90 days or more. Likewise, quarterly, the Company reviews the rating of any commercial loan, broadly defined, that is delinquent 60 days or more. Annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.

NOTE 4 . TROUBLE D

DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS

A troubled debt restructured (“TDR”) loan is a loan in which the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider, for reasons related to a borrower's financial difficulties. The loan terms which have been modified or restructured due to a borrower's financial difficulty, include but are not limited to a reduction in the stated interest rate; an extension of the maturity at an interest rate below current market rates; a reduction in the face amount of the debt; a reduction in the accrued interest; or re-aging, extensions, deferrals, renewals and rewrites or a combination of these modification methods. A TDR loan would generally be considered impaired in the year of modification and will be assessed periodically for continued impairment.

The Company offers a variety of modifications to borrowers. The modification categories offered can generally be described in the following categories:

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

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

Interest Only Modification – A modification in which the loan is converted to interest only payments for a period of time.

Payment Modification – A modification in which the dollar amount of the payment is changed, other than an interest only modification described above.

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

NOTE 4. TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS – continued

The Company previously had one TDR loan with a recorded investment of $43,000 and a $34,000 charge-off at time of restructure. The loan was a home equity loan and was on accrual status. The remaining recorded investment of $42,000 was paid-off during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 and the $34,000 charge-off was recovered.

The Bank’s policy is that loans placed on non-accrual will typically remain on non-accrual status until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the prospect for future payment in accordance with the loan agreement appears relatively certain. The Bank’s policy generally refers to nine months of payment performance as sufficient to warrant a return to accrual status.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, there were no new restructured loans.

There were no loans modified as a troubled debt restructured loan within the previous nine months for which there was a payment default during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. A default for purposes of this disclosure is a troubled debt restructured loan in which the borrower is 90 days past due or results in the foreclosure and repossession of the applicable collateral.

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to loan customers whose terms had been modified in trouble debt restructures.

In September 2005, the Company completed the private placement of $5,155,000 in subordinated debentures to Eagle Bancorp Statutory Trust I (“the Trust”). The Trust funded the purchase of the subordinated debentures through the sale of trust preferred securities to First Tennessee Bank, N.A. with a liquidation value of $5,155,000. Using interest payments made by the Company on the debentures, the Trust began paying quarterly dividends to preferred security holders in December 2005. The annual percentage rate of the interest payable on the subordinated debentures and distributions payable on the preferred securities was fixed at 6.02% until December 2010 then became variable at 3-Month LIBOR plus 1.42%, making the rate 3.818% and 3.114% as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Dividends on the preferred securities are cumulative and the Trust may defer the payments for up to five years. The preferred securities mature in December 2035 unless the Company elects and obtains regulatory approval to accelerate the maturity date.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, interest expense on other long-term debt was $361,000 and $350,000, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, interest expense on other long-term debt was $1,065,000 and $969,000, respectively.

NOTE 1 0 . D ERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Mortgage Loan Commitments

Mortgage loan commitments are referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held-for-sale upon funding. The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 60 days after inception of the rate lock.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates. If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases. The notional amount of interest rate lock commitments was $31,583,000 and $15,338,000 at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The fair value of such commitments was insignificant.

The Company has no other off-balance-sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated, special purpose entities that would expose the Company to liability that is not reflected on the face of the financial statements.

NOTE 1 1 . FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and, (iv) willing to transact.

FASB ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied.

Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date, or convert to cash in the short term.

Level 2 Inputs – Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES – continued

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies 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.

Available-for- Sale Securities – Securities classified as available-for-sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Impaired Loans – Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.

Loans Held-for- Sale – These loans are reported at the lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on sales contracts and commitments and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Repossessed Assets – Fair values are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans. The value is based upon primary third party appraisals, less costs to sell. The appraisals are generally discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business. Such discounts are typically significant and result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on same or similar factors above.

Certain financial assets and financial 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).

The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:

	September 30, 2018

As of September 30, 2018, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $1,556,000 were not reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations, resulting in a total reported fair value of $1,556,000 based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

As of December 31, 2017, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $977,000 were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations totaling $49,000 to a total reported fair value of $928,000 based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

The following table represents the Bank’s Level 3 financial assets and liabilities, the valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of those financial assets and liabilities, and the significant unobservable inputs and the ranges of values for those inputs.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments. However, the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 provides additional description of valuation methodologies used in estimating fair value of these financial instruments.

Cash, Interest B earing A ccounts, Accrued I nterest and D ividend R eceivable and A ccrued E xpenses an d Other L iabilities – The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

Stock in the F ederal Home L oan B ank of Des Moines (“FHLB”) and F ederal R eserve B ank (“FRB”) – The fair value of stock approximates redemption value.

Loans R eceivable – Fair values are estimated by stratifying the loan portfolio into groups of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as real estate, commercial, and consumer, with each category further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms. For mortgage loans, the Company uses the secondary market rates in effect for loans that have similar characteristics. The fair value of other fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the anticipated maturities adjusted for prepayment estimates. Adjustable interest rate loans are assumed to approximate fair value because they generally reprice within the short term.

Fair values are adjusted for credit risk based on assessment of risk identified with specific loans, and risk adjustments on the remaining portfolio based on credit loss experience.

Assumptions regarding credit risk are judgmentally determined using specific borrower information, internal credit quality analysis, and historical information on segmented loan categories for non-specific borrowers.

Mortgage Servicing Rights – the fair value of servicing rights was determined at loan level using a discount rate of 12.50% for all investor types and prepayment speeds ranging from approximately 80.00% to 230.00% PSA, depending on stratification of the specific loan. The weighted average prepayment speed was 114.00% PSA. The fair value was also adjusted for the effect of potential past dues and foreclosures. Individual mortgage servicing rights values were capped at a maximum of 1.25% for all investor types.

NOTE 1 1 . FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES - continued

Cash Surrender Value of Life I nsurance – The carrying amount for cash surrender value of life insurance approximates fair value as policies are recorded at redemption value.

Deposits and T ime C ertificates of D eposit – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as checking, passbook, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair value of time certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Advances from the FHLB /Other Borrowings and Other Long-Term Debt – The fair value of the Company’s advances and debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the interest rate that would be effective September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively if the borrowings repriced according to their stated terms.

Off-Balance-Sheet I nstruments – Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair values of these financial instruments are considered insignificant. Additionally, those financial instruments have no carrying value.

NOTE 12. MERGER S AND ACQUISITIONS

On September 5, 2017, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with TwinCo, a Montana corporation, and TwinCo’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Ruby Valley Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank to acquire 100% of TwinCo’s equity voting interests. The merger agreement provided that Ruby Valley Bank would merge with and into Opportunity Bank of Montana and that TwinCo would merge with and into the Company. Ruby Valley Bank operated 2 branches in Madison County, Montana. The transaction provided an opportunity to expand market presence and lending activities, particularly in agricultural lending. The acquisition closed January 31, 2018, after receipt of approvals from regulatory authorities, approval of TwinCo shareholders and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. The total consideration paid was $18,930,000 and included cash consideration of $9,900,000 and common stock issued of $9,030,000.

The transaction was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations. In business combination transactions in which the consideration given is not in the form of cash (that is, in the form of non-cash assets, liabilities incurred, or equity interests issued), measurement of the acquisition consideration is based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the asset (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, a more reliable measure.

Under FASB ASC 805, all of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination are recognized at acquisition at their acquisition-date fair value, while transaction costs and restructuring costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The excess of the acquisition consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, if any, is allocated to goodwill. Goodwill recorded in the acquisition was accounted for in accordance with the authoritative business combination guidance. Accordingly, goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment annually. The goodwill recorded is not deductible for federal income tax purposes.

The fair value analysis of the loan portfolio resulted in a valuation adjustment for each loan based on an amortization schedule of expected cash flow. Individual amortization schedules were used for each loan over a certain amount and those with specifically identified loss exposure. The remainder of the loans were grouped by type and risk rating into loan pools (based on loans type, fixed or variable interest rate, revolving or term payments and risk rating). Yield inputs for the amortization schedules included contractual interest rates, estimated prepayment speeds, liquidity adjustments and market yields. Credit inputs for the amortization schedules included probability of payment default, loss given default rates and individually identified loss exposure.

Core deposit intangible assets of $1,609,000 are being amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives of the related deposits of 10 years.

The core deposit intangible value is a function of the difference between the cost of the acquired core deposits and the alternative cost of funds. This cash flow stream was discounted to present value. The fair value of other deposit accounts acquired were valued by estimating future cash flows to be received or paid from individual or homogenous groups of assets and liabilities and then discounting those cash flows to a present value using rates of return that were available in financial markets for similar financial instruments on or near January 31, 2018.

Direct costs related to the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The Company recorded acquisition costs related to the TwinCo acquisition of $131,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2018, $234,000 during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and $676,000 during the year ended December 31, 2017. Acquisition costs included legal and professional fees and data processing incurred related to the acquisition.

Operations of TwinCo have been included in the consolidated financial statements since February 1, 2018. The Company does not consider TwinCo a separate reporting segment and does not track the amount of revenues and net income attributable to TwinCo since acquisition. As such, it is impracticable to determine such amounts for the period from February 1, 2018 through September 30, 2018.

The accompanying consolidated statements of income include the results of operations of the acquired entity since the January 31, 2018 acquisition date. The following table presents unaudited pro forma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2017. This pro forma information gives effect to certain adjustments, including purchase accounting fair value adjustments and amortization of the core deposit intangible asset. The pro forma information does not necessarily reflect the results of operations that would have occurred had the Company purchased and assumed the assets and liabilities of TwinCo on January 1, 2017.

NOTE 1 3 . RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This guidance is a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersede substantially all existing revenue recognition guidance. The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under existing guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In July 2015, the FASB agreed to delay the effective date of the standard by one year. Therefore, the new standard was effective in the first quarter of 2018 and was adopted by the Company. Our revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, and non-interest income. The largest percentage of our non-interest income is derived from the gain on sale of mortgage loans. The gains are recognized at the time of the sale of the loan, when proceeds are sent to us by the investor purchasing the loan. No change in the recognition of revenue on that portion of our noninterest income was recognized. We also evaluated the impact of this standard on our revenue from our wealth management division and it did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10). The amendment has a number of provisions including the requirements that public business entities use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes, a separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e. securities or loans receivables), and eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The amendment is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2018. Note 11. Fair Value Disclosures for September 30, 2018, reflects the provisions of this pronouncement.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) intended to improve financial reporting regarding leasing transactions. The new standard affects all companies and organizations that lease assets. The standard will require organizations to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases if the lease terms are more than 12 months. The guidance also will require qualitative and quantitative disclosures providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of the amendment on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We currently lease six locations that serve as full-service branches, with the longest running lease expiring in 2027. We continue to explore options for using a third party vendor to assist with the implementation of this standard.

In September 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The standard requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. The standard also requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, the standard amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities may adopt the amendments in this update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity will apply the amendments in this update through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). The Company believes the amendments in this update will have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and is working to evaluate the significance of that impact. In that regard, we have established a working group under the direction of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Credit Officer. The group is composed of individuals from the finance and credit administration areas of the Company. We are currently developing an implementation plan, including assessment of processes, segmentation of the loan portfolio and identifying and adding data fields necessary for analysis. The adoption of this standard is likely to result in an increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses as a result of changing from an “incurred loss” model to an “expected loss” model. While we currently cannot reasonably estimate the impact of adopting this standard, we expect the impact will be influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of our loan and securities portfolios, as well as the general economic conditions and forecasts as of the adoption date.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) to amend and simplify current goodwill impairment testing to eliminate Step 2 from the current provisions. Under the new guidance, an entity should perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. An entity still has the option to perform the quantitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if a quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. We have improved our internal reporting systems as it relates to profitability by divisions and markets within the Company. We expect these systems to help in our evaluation of potential impairment.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables–Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) to shorten the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium to the earliest call date. Currently, entities generally amortize the premium as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the security. The guidance does not change the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in an interim period. We have currently been following this guidance based on our internal investment policy guidelines. There is little impact on our consolidated financial statements, as we typically do not invest in these types of securities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Item 2 . Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Company’s primary business activity is the ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary, Opportunity Bank of Montana (the “Bank”). The Bank is a Montana chartered commercial bank that focuses on both consumer and commercial lending. It engages in typical banking activities: acquiring deposits from local markets and originating loans and investing in securities. Its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank’s primary component of earnings is its net interest margin (also called spread or margin), the difference between interest income and interest expense. The net interest margin is managed by management (through the pricing of its products and by the types of products offered and kept in portfolio), and is affected by changes in market interest rates. The Bank also generates noninterest income in the form of fee income and gain on sale of loans.

The Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with a large portion of its loan originations represented by single-family residential mortgages, which has enabled it to successfully market home equity loans, as well as a wide range of shorter term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.). In recent years, the Bank has focused on adding commercial loans to its portfolio, both real estate and non-real estate. We have made significant progress in this initiative. The purpose of this diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s dependence on the residential mortgage market, as well as to improve its ability to manage its spread. The Bank’s management recognizes that fee income will also enable it to be less dependent on specialized lending and it now maintains a significant loan serviced portfolio which provides a steady source of fee income. Fee income is also supplemented with fees generated from the Bank’s deposit accounts. The Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread. Non-maturity deposits and certificates of deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise. Gain on sale of loans also provides significant noninterest income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes. Such income will be adversely affected in periods of lower mortgage activity.

Management continues to focus on improving the Bank’s core earnings. Core earnings can be described as income before taxes, with the exclusion of gain on sale of loans and adjustments to the market value of the Bank’s loan servicing portfolio. Management believes that the Bank will need to continue to concentrate on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income and control of operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going forward. Management’s strategy of growing the bank’s loan portfolio and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals as follows: loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments; a larger deposit base should yield higher fee income; increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating costs. The biggest challenge to the strategy is funding the growth of the Bank’s balance sheet in an efficient manner. Though deposit growth has been steady, it may become more difficult to maintain due to significant competition and possible reduced customer demand for deposits as customers may shift into other asset classes.

The level and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank’s earnings as well. The Federal Open Market Committee changed the federal funds target rate from 0.75% to 1.50% during the year ended December 31, 2017. The rate increased from 1.50% to 2.25% during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

On October 13, 2017, the Company successfully completed a public offering of its common stock, and issued 1,189,041 shares and received approximately $20.16 million in net cash proceeds.

Acquisitions

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement upon completion of the merger, each outstanding share of Big Muddy Bancorp common stock will be converted into the right to receive 20.49 shares of Eagle common stock. Based on the number of shares of Big Muddy Bancorp common stock outstanding as of August 21, 2018, we expect to issue approximately 996,142 shares of our common stock to Big Muddy Bancorp shareholders in the aggregate upon completion of the merger.

On January 31, 2018, we acquired all of the outstanding common stock of TwinCo Inc. (“TwinCo”), the parent company of Ruby Valley Bank, a Montana chartered commercial bank with 2 branches in Madison County, Montana. The transaction provided an opportunity to expand market presence and lending activities, particularly in agricultural lending. The total consideration paid was $18.93 million and included cash consideration of $9.90 million and common stock issued of $9.03 million.

Total assets were $839.97 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of $123.19 million, or 17.2%, from $716.78 million at December 31, 2017. The increase was largely due to the change in securities and loans receivable, net partly due to the acquisition of TwinCo. Securities available-for-sale increased $16.90 million, or 12.8%, to $148.94 million at September 30, 2018 from $132.04 million at December 31, 2017. Loans receivable, net increased by $82.89 million, or 16.3%, to $590.29 million at September 30, 2018, from $507.40 million at December 31, 2017. Total liabilities were $747.98 million at September 30, 2018, an increase of $114.81 million, or 18.1%, from $633.17 million at December 31, 2017. The increase was largely due to an increase in deposits due in part to the TwinCo acquisition, as well as an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances and other borrowings. Total deposits increased by $100.74 million to $621.30 million at September 30, 2018 from $520.56 million at December 31, 2017. FHLB advances and other borrowings increased $12.76 million to $95.73 million at September 30, 2018 from $82.97 million at December 31, 2017.

The net increase was due in part to the acquisition of TwinCo. All categories of securities available-for sale increased during the period with the exception of corporate obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Corporate obligations decreased primarily due to maturities, and mortgage-backed securities decreased due to principal payments partially offset by net purchases.

Nonperforming Assets . Generally, our collection procedures provide that when a loan is 15 or more days delinquent, the borrower is sent a past due notice. If the loan becomes 30 days delinquent, the borrower is sent a written delinquency notice requiring payment. If the delinquency continues, subsequent efforts are made to contact the delinquent borrower, including face to face meetings and counseling to resolve the delinquency. All collection actions are undertaken with the objective of compliance with the Fair Debt Collection Act.

For mortgage loans and home equity loans, if the borrower is unable to cure the delinquency or reach a payment agreement, we will institute foreclosure actions. If a foreclosure action is taken and the loan is not reinstated, paid in full or refinanced, the property is sold at judicial sale at which we may be the buyer if there are no adequate offers to satisfy the debt. Any property acquired as the result of foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold or otherwise disposed of. When real estate owned is acquired, it is recorded at its fair market value less estimated selling costs. The initial recording of any loss is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs are recorded as a charge to operations. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank had $457,000 of real estate owned.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

The Bank’s earnings have historically depended primarily upon net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and any borrowed funds. It is the single largest component of Eagle’s operating income. Net interest income is affected by (i) the difference between rates of interest earned on loans and investments and rates paid on interest bearing deposits and borrowings (the “interest rate spread”) and (ii) the relative amounts of loans and investments and interest bearing deposits and borrowings.

The following tables include average balances for balance sheet items, as well as, interest and dividends and average yields related to the average balances. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields include the effect of deferred fees and discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

Res ults of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30 , 201 8 and 201 7

Net Income . Eagle’s net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $1.63 million compared to $1.72 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The slight decrease of $89,000, or 5.2%, was due to an increase in noninterest expense of $1.49 million, a decrease in noninterest income of $227,000, largely offset by an increase in net interest income after loan loss provision of $1.45 million and a decrease in income tax expense of $178,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.30 for the current period. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.45 for the prior year comparable period.

Net Interest Income . Net interest income increased to $7.48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $6.16 million for the same quarter in the prior year. This increase of $1.32 million, or 21.4%, was the result of an increase in interest and dividend income of $1.61 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $283,000.

Interest and Dividend Income . Interest and dividend income was $8.83 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $7.22 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $1.61 million, or 22.3%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $7.70 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $6.48 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase of $1.22 million, or 18.8%, was due to an increase in the average balance of loans, as well as, an increase in the average yield of loans for the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were $591.44 million, compared to $520.60 million for the prior year period. This represents an increase of $70.84 million, or 13.6% and was due in part to the TwinCo acquisition. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable increased by 23 basis points, from 4.94% to 5.17%. Interest and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale increased by $343,000, or 49.5% period over period. Average interest rates earned on investments increased to 2.71% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from 2.25% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Average balances for investments increased to $151.75 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, from $121.97 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was largely due to the TwinCo acquisition.

Interest Expense . Total interest expense was $1.35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.07 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase of $283,000 or 26.6% was due to an increase in interest expense on deposits, as well as interest expense on borrowings. The average balance for total deposits was $615.54 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $517.66 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was due in part to the TwinCo acquisition. The overall average rate on total deposits was 0.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 0.30% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The average borrowing balance decreased from $118.24 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to $114.44 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. However, the average rate paid on total borrowings increased from 2.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, to 2.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Loan Loss Provision . Loan loss provisions are charged to earnings to maintain total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management of the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank and past due loans in the portfolio. The Bank’s policies require review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. The Bank recorded $194,000 in provision for loan losses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and $331,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Noninterest Income . Total noninterest income was $3.76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $3.99 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $227,000 or 5.7%. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in net gain on sale of loans which decreased to $2.29 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $2.57 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in gross margin on sale of mortgage loans for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in gross margin on sale of mortgage loans is due to interest rate movements in the mortgage market and strategic defensive posture due to competitive pressure.

Noninterest Expense . Noninterest expense was $9.05 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $7.56 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase of $1.49 million or 19.7% is largely due to increases in salaries and employee benefits expense of $792,000. The increase is due in part to higher commission-based compensation related to the continued loan growth in both commercial and mortgage lending activities as well as the TwinCo acquisition. Data processing increased $303,000, primarily due to one-time costs to improve network infrastructure and to support growth. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $200,000 as a result of facility improvements and bringing in acquired branches.

Income Tax Expense . Income tax expense was $360,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $538,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was 18.1%.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30 , 201 8 and 201 7

Net Income . Eagle’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3.54 million compared to $3.55 million of net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The slight decrease of $12,000, or 0.3%, was primarily due to an increase in noninterest expense of $4.00 million and a decrease in noninterest income of $1.25 million, largely offset by an increase in net interest income after loan loss provision of $4.82 million and a decrease in income tax expense of $408,000. Basic and diluted earnings per share were both $0.65 for the current period. Basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.93 and $0.92, respectively, for the prior year comparable period.

Net Interest Income . Net interest income increased to $22.13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $17.52 million for the previous year’s nine-month period. This increase of $4.61 million, or 26.3%, was the result of an increase in interest and dividend income of $5.27 million, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $657,000.

Interest and Dividend Income . Interest and dividend income was $25.76 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $20.49 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $5.27 million, or 25.7%. Interest and fees on loans increased to $22.44 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $18.22 million for the same period ended September 30, 2017. This increase of $4.22 million, or 23.2%, was due to an increase in the average balance of loans, as well as, an increase in the average yield on loans. Average balances for loans receivable, including loans held-for-sale, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were $583.27 million, compared to $502.56 million for the prior year period. This represents an increase of $80.71 million, or 16.1% and was due in part to the TwinCo acquisition. The average interest rate earned on loans receivable increased by 29 basis points, from 4.85% to 5.14%. Interest and dividends on investment securities available-for-sale loans increased to $3.05 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $2.14 million for the same period ended September 30, 2017. Average balances for investments increased to $152.58 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $125.64 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. This increase was largely due to the TwinCo acquisition. Average interest rates earned on investments increased to 2.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from 2.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Interest Expense . Total interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $3.62 million compared to $2.97 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase of $657,000, or 22.1%, was due to an increase in interest expense on borrowings, as well as an increase in interest expense on deposits. Interest expense on FHLB advances and other borrowings and other long term debt increased $345,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average borrowing balance increased slightly from $108.29 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $108.48 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. However, the average rate paid on borrowings increased from 2.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, to 2.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Interest expense on deposits increased $312,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is due to higher overall average balances for total deposits which increased from $516.19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to $614.80 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This increase was due in part to the TwinCo acquisition. The overall average rate on total deposits increased from 0.30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to 0.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Loan Loss Provision. Loan loss provisions are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management of the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank and past due loans in the portfolio. The Bank’s policies require a review of assets on a quarterly basis. The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted. While management believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary. The Bank recorded $720,000 in loan loss provisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and $934,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Management believes the level of total allowances is adequate. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank had $457,000 in foreclosed real estate property and other repossessed property.

Noninterest Income . Total noninterest income decreased to $9.52 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, from $10.77 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a decrease of $1.25 million or 11.6%. The decrease is largely due to a decrease in net gain on sale of loans which decreased to $5.45 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $6.66 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, $205.06 million mortgage loans were sold compared to $215.20 million in the same period in the prior year. In addition, gross margin on sale of mortgage loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 declined. The decrease in gross margin on sale of mortgage loans is due to interest rate movements in the mortgage market and strategic defensive posture due to competitive pressure.

Noninterest Expense . Noninterest expense was $26.62 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $22.62 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase of $4.00 million, or 17.7%, is largely due to increased salaries and employee benefits expense of $2.14 million. The increase in salaries expense is due in part to higher commission-based compensation related to the continued loan growth in both commercial and mortgage lending activities as well as the TwinCo acquisition. Data processing increased $480,000, primarily due to one-time costs to improve network infrastructure and to support growth. Occupancy and equipment expense increased $474,000 as a result of facility improvements and bringing in acquired branches. In addition, the Company incurred acquisition costs totaling $587,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $276,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Income Tax Expense . Income tax expense was $780,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $1.19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 18.1%. The tax was lower due to lower income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year, as well as the impact of the Tax Cuts and Job Act enacted in December 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined in the regulations of the Montana Division of Banking and Financial Institutions and Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) regulations. The liquidity requirement is retained for safety and soundness purposes, and appropriate levels of liquidity will depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages. For internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses policy minimums of 1.0%, and 8.0% for “basic surplus” and “basic surplus with FHLB” as internally defined. In general, the “basic surplus” is a calculation of the ratio of unencumbered short-term assets reduced by estimated percentages of CD maturities and other deposits that may leave the Bank in the next 90 days divided by total assets. “Basic surplus with FHLB” adds to “basic surplus” the additional borrowing capacity the Bank has with FHLB. The Bank exceeded those minimum ratios as of both September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations and advances from FHLB and other borrowings. Scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities and maturities of investment securities are generally predictable. However, other sources of funds, such as deposit flows and loan prepayments, can be greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank uses liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments. It also uses them to fund maturing certificates of deposit, demand deposit withdrawals and to invest in other loans and investments, maintain liquidity and meet operating expenses.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates paid by competitors and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable, based in part on commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of the Bank’s ability to generate funds.

Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2018, the Bank’s internally determined measurement of sensitivity to interest rate movements as measured by a 200 basis point rise in interest rates scenario, increased the economic value of equity (“EVE”) by 2.0% compared to an increase of 2.7% at December 31, 2017. The Bank is within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate risk sensitivity in rising interest rate scenarios.

Beginning January 1, 2015, community banking organizations became subject to a new regulatory rule recently adopted by federal banking agencies (commonly referred to as Basel III). The new rule establishes a new regulatory capital framework that incorporates revisions to the Basel capital framework, strengthens the definition of regulatory capital, increases risk-based capital requirements, and amends the methodologies for determining risk-weighted assets. These changes are expected to increase the amount of capital required by community banking organizations. Basel III includes a multiyear transition period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2019.

The Banks’s Tier I leverage ratio, as measured under State of Montana and FRB rules, increased from 10.39% as of December 31, 2017 to 11.434% as of September 30, 2018. The Bank’s capital position helps to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure.

As of September 30, 2018, the Bank’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank’s total capital, Tier 1 capital, common equity Tier 1 capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 15.779%, 14.759%, 14.759% and 11.434% , respectively, compared to regulatory requirements of 9.875%, 7.875%, 6.375% and 4.00%, respectively. All of these ratios with the exception of the Tier 1 leverage ratio include the capital conservation buffer of 1.875% phased in beginning January 1, 2018.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the potential for loss of future earnings resulting from adverse changes in the level of interest rates. Interest rate risk results from several factors and could have a significant impact on the Company’s net interest income, which is the Company primary source of income. Net interest income is affected by changes in interest rates, the relationship between rates on interest bearing assets and liabilities, the impact of interest fluctuations on asset prepayments and the mix of interest bearing assets and liabilities.

Although interest rate risk is inherent in the banking industry, banks are expected to have sound risk management practices in place to measure, monitor and control interest rate exposures. The objective of interest rate risk management is to contain the risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. The process involves identification and management of the sensitivity of net interest income to changing interest rates.

The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability committee, which is governed by policies established by the Company’s Board that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board delegates responsibility for carrying out the asset/liability management policies to the Bank’s asset/liability committee. In this capacity, the asset/liability committee develops guidelines and strategies impacting the Company’s asset/liability management related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends. The Company’s goal of its asset and liability management practices is to maintain or increase the level of net interest income within an acceptable level of interest rate risk. Our asset and liability policy and strategies are expected to continue as described so long as competitive and regulatory conditions in the financial institution industry and market interest rates continue as they have in recent years.

Interest Rate Risk – continued

The Bank has established acceptable levels of interest rate risk as follows: Projected net interest income over the next twelve months will not be reduced by more than 15.0% given a change in interest rates of up to 200 basis points (+ or -).

The following table includes the Bank’s net interest income sensitivity analysis.

Changes in Market	Rate Sensitivity

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

Our financial statements and the accompanying notes 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 and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of September 30, 2018, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. During the last quarter, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
