Note 2. Legal Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is involved in various legal and other proceedings. In the opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

Note 3. Per Share Information

Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and reduced for shares held in treasury. The assumed exercise of outstanding exercisable stock options and vesting of RSUs does not result in material dilution and is not included in the calculation.

Note 4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The ASU was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities (including operating leases) on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Previous lease accounting did not require the inclusion of operating leases in the balance sheet. In July 2018, the FASB provided additional guidance on implementation of Topic 842 as well as an additional transition method. The ASU, including the updated guidance, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2019. The guidance did not significantly change lease accounting requirements applicable to lessors and did not significantly impact the consolidated financial statements in relation to contracts whereby the Company acts as a lessor. Implementation of the guidance resulted in the recording of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, but did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of income. See Note 9 for additional disclosures relating to the Company's lease assets and liabilities.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . Under the new guidance, which will replace the existing incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, banks and other lending institutions will be required to recognize the full amount of expected credit losses. The new guidance, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss model ("CECL"), requires that expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date that are accounted for at amortized cost be measured and recognized based on historical experience and current and reasonably supportable forecasted conditions to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. A modified version of these requirements also applies to debt securities classified as AFS. As initially proposed, t h e ASU i s effec ti ve for fisca l years be g inn i n g aft er De c ember 15, 2019, in c lu d ing in teri m p e rio ds w i t hin t ho se fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within such years. In October 2019, the FASB approved amendments to delay the effective date of the ASU to fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, for smaller reporting companies, as defined by the SEC, and other non-SEC reporting entities. The final ASU is expected to be issued in November 2019. As the Company is a smaller reporting company, the delay will be applicable to the Company and the Company does not intend to early adopt the ASU at this time. The Company has established a CECL implementation team and developed a transition project plan. The Company has entered into an agreement with a software provider, historical data has been compiled and training on utilizing the software for the existing incurred loss model has been completed. The Company continues the collection of historical data and training is ongoing during 2019 surrounding CECL implementation and methodologies, including the running of parallel calculations throughout the year. This will facilitate the eventual implementation process and management's evaluation of the potential impact of the ASU on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . The ASU was issued to reduce the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test. To simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, step two of the goodwill impairment test was eliminated. Instead, a company will recognize an impairment of goodwill should the carrying value of a reporting unit exceed its fair value (i.e. step one). The ASU will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and will be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the implementation to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The ASU was issued to make certain specific improvements to hedge accounting to better align hedge accounting with risk management activities, eliminate the separate measurement and recording of hedge ineffectiveness, improve presentation and disclosure, and other simplifications. The ASU became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. All transition requirements and elections were applied to existing hedging relationships upon adoption. Adoption of the ASU did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . This guidance, which is a part of the FASB’s disclosure framework

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 8

project to improve disclosure effectiveness, eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements regarding the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, an entity’s policy for the timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and an entity’s valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. This guidance also adds new disclosure requirements for public entities regarding changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements of instruments held at the end of the reporting period, and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop recurring and nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements, including how the weighted average is calculated. In addition, this guidance modifies certain requirements regarding the disclosure of transfers into and out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, purchases and issuances of Level 3 assets and liabilities, and information about the measurement uncertainty of Level 3 fair value measurements as of the reporting date. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 5. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As a result of the 2011 Branch Acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill amounting to $2.2 million which is included in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The goodwill is not amortizable. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, in accordance with current authoritative accounting guidance. Management assesses qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company, in total, is less than its carrying amount. Management is not aware of any such events or circumstances that would cause it to conclude that the fair value of the Company is less than its carrying amount.

The Company also initially recorded $1.7 million of acquired identifiable intangible assets in connection with the 2011 Branch Acquisition, representing the core deposit intangible which is subject to straight-line amortization over the estimated 10 year average life of the core deposit base, absent any future impairment. The net core deposit intangible balance of $284 thousand and $412 thousand at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, is included in Other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Management will evaluate the core deposit intangible for impairment if conditions warrant.

Amortization expense for the core deposit intangible was $43 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and $129 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 . The amortization expense is included in Other expenses on the consolidated statements of income and is deductible for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2019 , the remaining amortization expense related to the core deposit intangible, absent any future impairment, is expected to be as follows:

The Company evaluates all investment securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant, to determine if an OTTI exists . A security is considered impaired if the fair value is lower than its amortized cost basis at the report date. If impaired, management then assesses whether the unrealized loss is OTT.

An unrealized loss on a debt security is generally deemed to be OTT and a credit loss is deemed to exist if the present value of the expected future cash flows is less than the amortized cost basis of the debt security. The credit loss component of OTTI write-down is recorded, net of tax effect, through net income as a component of net OTTI losses in the consolidated statements of income, while the remaining portion of the impairment loss is recognized in OCI, provided the Company does not intend to sell the underlying debt security and it is "more likely than not" that the Company will not have to sell the debt security prior to recovery.

Management considers the following factors in determining whether OTTI exists and the period over which the security is expected to recover:


•	The length of time, and extent to which, the fair value has been less than the amortized cost;


•	Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, industry, or geographic area;


•	The historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;


•	The payment structure of the debt security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments that may increase in the future;


•	Failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments;


•	Any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency;


•	Recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date; and


•	The nature of the issuer, including whether it is a private company, public entity or government-sponsored enterprise, and the existence or likelihood of any government or third party guaranty.

The Company has the ability to hold the investment securities that had unrealized losses at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for the foreseeable future and no declines were deemed by management to be OTT.

There were no sales of AFS securities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The following table presents the proceeds, gross realized gains and gross realized losses from the sale of AFS securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 :

Note 7. Loans

Loans receivable that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for any charge-offs, the ALL, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans and unamortized premiums or discounts on purchased loans.

Loan interest income is accrued daily on outstanding balances. The following accounting policies, related to accrual and nonaccrual loans, apply to all portfolio segments and loan classes, which the Company considers to be the same. The accrual of interest is normally discontinued when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired and/or management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Generally, any unpaid interest previously accrued on those loans is reversed against current period interest income. A loan may be restored to accrual status when its financial status has significantly improved and there is no principal or interest past due. A loan may also be restored to accrual status if the borrower makes six consecutive monthly payments or the lump sum equivalent. Income on nonaccrual loans is generally not recognized unless a loan is returned to accrual status or after all principal has been collected. Interest income generally is not recognized on impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest payments received on such loans are generally applied as a reduction of the loan principal balance. Delinquency status is determined based on contractual terms for all portfolio segments and loan classes. Loans past due 30 days or more are considered delinquent. Loans are considered in process of foreclosure when a judgment of foreclosure has been issued by the court.

Loan origination fees and direct loan origination costs are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield using methods that approximate the interest method. The Company generally amortizes these amounts over the estimated average life of the related loans.

The composition of Net loans as of the balance sheet dates were as follows:

There were three residential real estate loans totaling $207 thousand and three commercial real estate loans totaling $137 thousand in process of foreclosure at September 30, 2019 and three residential real estate loans totaling $255 thousand and one commercial real estate loan totaling $146 thousand in process of foreclosure at December 31, 2018 . Aggregate interest on nonaccrual loans not recognized was $1.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 .

Note 8. Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality

The ALL is established for estimated losses in the loan portfolio through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. For all loan classes, loan losses are charged against the ALL when management believes the loan balance is uncollectible or in accordance with federal guidelines. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALL.

The ALL is maintained at a level believed by management to be appropriate to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date. The amount of the ALL is based on management's periodic evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature, volume and risk characteristics of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, estimated value of any underlying collateral, specific impaired loans and economic conditions. There was no change to the methodology used to estimate the ALL during the third quarter of 2019 . While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the ALL may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions or other relevant factors.

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, regularly review the Company's ALL. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the ALL, with a corresponding charge to earnings, based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management.

The ALL consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to the loans that are classified as impaired. Loans are evaluated for impairment and may be classified as impaired when management believes it is probable that the Company will not collect all the contractual interest and principal payments as scheduled in the loan agreement. Impaired loans may also include troubled loans that are restructured. A TDR occurs when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the borrower that would otherwise not be granted. A TDR classification may result from the transfer of assets to the Company in partial satisfaction of a troubled loan, a modification of a loan's terms (such as reduction of stated interest rates below market rates, extension of maturity that does not conform to the Company's policies, reduction of the face amount of the loan, reduction of accrued interest, or reduction or deferment of loan payments), or a combination. A specific reserve amount is allocated to the ALL for individual loans that have been classified as impaired based on management's estimate of the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, an observable market price, or the present value of anticipated future cash flows. The Company accounts for the change in present value attributable to the passage of time in the loan loss reserve. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer, real estate or small balance commercial loans for impairment evaluation, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement or have been identified as impaired as part of a larger customer relationship. Based on an evaluation of the Company's historical loss experience on substandard commercial loans, management has established the commercial loan threshold for individual impairment evaluation as commercial loan relationships with aggregate balances greater than $500 thousand.

The general component represents the level of ALL allocable to each loan portfolio segment with similar risk characteristics and is determined based on historical loss experience, adjusted for qualitative factors, for each class of loan. Management deems a five year average to be an appropriate time frame on which to base historical losses for each portfolio segment. Qualitative factors

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 13

considered include underwriting, economic and market conditions, portfolio composition, collateral values, delinquencies, lender experience and legal issues. The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each portfolio segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

•

Residential real estate - Loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied 1-4 family residential real estate, second and vacation homes, 1-4 family investment properties, home equity and second mortgage loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•

Construction real estate - Loans in this segment include residential and commercial construction properties, commercial real estate development loans (while in the construction phase of the projects), land and land development loans. Repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower and/or the underlying cash flows generated by the properties being constructed. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates, housing prices, vacancy rates and material costs, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.

•

Commercial real estate - Loans in this segment are primarily properties occupied by businesses or income-producing properties. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties may be adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by a general slowdown in business or increased vacancy rates which, in turn, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment. Management requests business financial statements at least annually and monitors the cash flows of these loans.


•	Commercial - Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by non-real estate assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer or business spending, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.


•	Consumer - Loans in this segment are made to individuals for personal expenditures, such as an automobile purchase, and include unsecured loans. Repayment is primarily dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment, could have an effect on the credit quality of this segment.


•	Municipal - Loans in this segment are made to municipalities located within the Company's service area. Repayment is primarily dependent on taxes or other funds collected by the municipalities. Management considers there to be minimal risk surrounding the credit quality of this segment.

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the ALL reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

All evaluations are inherently subjective as they require estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available or as changes occur in economic conditions or other relevant factors. Despite the allocation shown in the tables below, the ALL is general in nature and is available to absorb losses from any class of loan.

Changes in the ALL, by class of loans, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

Risk and collateral ratings are assigned to loans and are subject to ongoing monitoring by lending and credit personnel with such ratings updated annually or more frequently if warranted. The following is an overview of the Company's loan rating system:

1-3 Rating - Pass

Risk-rating grades "1" through "3" comprise those loans ranging from those with lower than average credit risk, defined as borrowers with high liquidity, excellent financial condition, strong management, favorable industry trends or loans secured by highly liquid assets, through those with marginal credit risk, defined as borrowers that, while creditworthy, exhibit some characteristics requiring special attention by the account officer.

4/M Rating - Satisfactory/Monitor

Borrowers exhibit potential credit weaknesses or downward trends warranting management's attention. While potentially weak, these borrowers are currently marginally acceptable; no loss of principal or interest is envisioned. When warranted, these credits may be monitored on the watch list.

5-7 Rating - Substandard

Borrowers exhibit well defined weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of debt. The loan may be inadequately protected by the net worth and paying capacity of the obligor and/or the underlying collateral is inadequate.

The following tables summarize the loan ratings applied by management to the Company's loans by class as of the balance sheet dates:

The TDR loans above represent loan modifications in which a concession was provided to the borrower, including due date extensions, maturity date extensions, interest rate reductions or the forgiveness of accrued interest. Troubled loans that are restructured and meet established thresholds are classified as impaired and a specific reserve amount is allocated to the ALL on the basis of the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, an observable market price, or the present value of anticipated future cash flows.

The following tables provide new TDR activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 :

Note 10. Stock Based Compensation

The Company's current stock based compensation plan is the Union Bankshares, Inc. 2014 Equity Incentive Plan. Under the 2014 Equity Plan, 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are available for equity awards of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and RSUs to eligible officers and (except for awards of incentive stock options) nonemployee directors. Shares available for issuance of awards under the 2014 Equity Plan consist of unissued shares of the Company’s common stock and/or shares held in treasury. As of September 30, 2019 , there were outstanding grants of RSUs and incentive stock options under the 2014 Equity Plan.

RSUs. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions. The general terms of the awards are described in the Company's 2018 Annual Report. Prior to vesting, the RSUs do not earn dividends or dividend equivalents, nor do they bear any voting rights.

The following table presents a summary of the RSUs awarded to Company executives in accordance with the 2016, 2017, and 2018 Award Plan Summaries, and the number of such RSUs remaining unvested as of September 30, 2019 :



	Number of RSUs Granted	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Unvested RSUs
2016 Award	3,569	$	45.45	478
2017 Award	3,225	52.95		1,831
2018 Award	3,734	$	47.75	3,734
Total	10,528			6,043

Unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested RSUs as of September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 was $167 thousand and $71 thousand , respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , a total of 6,183 contingent RSUs were provisionally granted to Company executives in accordance with a 2019 Award Plan Summary. The estimated number of contingent RSUs provisionally granted was based on target performance-based payout amounts detailed in the 2019 Award Plan Summary approved by the Board of Directors and on the closing market price of the Company's stock on the February 6, 2019 provisional grant date ( $47.60 per share). As with the 2016, 2017, and 2018 grants, one half is in the form of Time-Based RSUs and one-half is in the form of Performance-Based RSUs. The actual number of Time-Based RSUs granted (if any) will be determined as of the earned date of December 31, 2019, based on the closing market price of the Company's stock on that date, while the actual number of Performance-Based RSUs granted (if any) will be determined during the first quarter of 2020, based on actual 2019 performance. The contingent RSUs were granted on substantially the same terms and conditions as the RSUs granted to Company executives under the previous

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 20

annual Award Plan Summaries. As of September 30, 2019 , the estimated unrecognized executive compensation expense related to the provisionally granted RSUs, based on the closing market price of the Company's stock on the provisional grant date of February 6, 2019, was $294 thousand .

On May 15, 2019, the Company's board of directors, as a component of total director compensation, granted an aggregate of 1,185 RSUs to the Company's non-employee directors. Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock upon satisfaction of applicable vesting conditions. The RSUs will vest on May 19, 2020, subject to continued board service through the vesting date, other than in the case of the director's death or disability. Prior to vesting, the RSUs do not earn dividends or dividend equivalents, nor do they bear any voting rights. Unrecognized director compensation expense related to the unvested RSUs as of September 30, 2019 was $29 thousand .

Stock options. As of September 30, 2019 , 4,500 incentive stock options granted in December 2014 under the 2014 Equity Plan remained outstanding and exercisable and will expire in December 2021. There was no unrecognized compensation expense related to those options as of September 30, 2019 . The estimated intrinsic value of those options was $34 thousand as of September 30, 2019 .

As of September 30, 2019 , 1,000 incentive stock options granted under the 2008 ISO Plan remained outstanding and exercisable, with the last of such options expiring in December 2020. There was no unrecognized compensation expense related to those options as of September 30, 2019 . The estimated intrinsic value of those options was $10 thousand as of September 30, 2019 .

Note 11. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accounting principles generally require recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income or loss. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as the after tax effect of unrealized gains and losses on investment securities AFS that are not OTTI, are not reflected in the consolidated statements of income. The cumulative effect of such items, net of tax effect, is reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets (Accumulated OCI). OCI, along with net income, comprises the Company's total comprehensive income or loss.

As of the balance sheet dates, the components of Accumulated OCI, net of tax, were:

The following tables disclose the tax effects allocated to each component of OCI for the three and nine months ended September 30 :

Note 12. Fair Value Measurement

The Company utilizes FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement , as guidance for accounting for assets and liabilities carried at fair value. This standard defines fair value as the price that would be received, without adjustment for transaction costs, to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is a market based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The guidance in FASB ASC Topic 820 establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are:


•	Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;


•	Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;


•	Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for the Company’s assets that are measured on a recurring basis at estimated fair value:

Investment securities AFS : The Company’s AFS securities have been valued utilizing 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 market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows.

Mutual funds : Mutual funds have been valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets and therefore have been classified as Level 1.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , segregated by fair value hierarchy level, are summarized below:

There were no transfers in or out of Levels 1 and 2 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , nor were there any Level 3 assets at any time during either period. Certain other assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in periods after initial recognition, such as collateral-dependent impaired loans, MSRs and OREO, were not considered material at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 . The Company has not elected to apply the fair value method to any financial assets or liabilities other than those situations where other accounting pronouncements require fair value measurements.

FASB ASC Topic 825 , Financial Instruments, requires disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’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. Management’s estimates and assumptions are inherently subjective and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Changes in assumptions could dramatically affect the estimated fair values.

Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments may be excluded from disclosure requirements. Thus, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the actual underlying fair value of such instruments of the Company.

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

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis focuses on those factors that, in management's view, had a material effect on the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , and its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 . This discussion is being presented to provide a narrative explanation of the consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes and with other financial data appearing elsewhere in this filing and with the Company's 2018 Annual Report. In the opinion of the Company's management, the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and disclosures necessary to fairly present the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Management is not aware of the occurrence of any events after September 30, 2019 which would materially affect the information presented.

Please refer to Note 1 in the Company's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements at Part I, Item 1 of this Report for definitions of acronyms, abbreviations and capitalized terms used throughout the following discussion and analysis.

CAUTIONARY ADVICE ABOUT FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company, "we," "us," "our," may from time to time make written or oral statements that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may include financial projections, statements of plans and objectives for future operations, estimates of future economic performance or conditions and assumptions relating thereto. The Company may include forward-looking statements in its filings with the SEC, in its reports to stockholders, including this quarterly report, in press releases, other written materials, and in statements made by senior management to analysts, rating agencies, institutional investors, representatives of the media and others.

Forward-looking statements reflect management's current expectations and are subject to uncertainties, both general and specific, and risk exists that actual results will differ from those predictions, forecasts, projections and other estimates contained in forward-looking statements. These risks cannot be readily quantified. When management uses any of the words “believes,” “expects,” “predicts,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “targets,” “goals,” “may,” “might,” “could,” “would,” “should,” or similar expressions, they are making forward-looking statements. Many possible events or factors, including those beyond the control of management, could affect the future financial results and performance of the Company.

Factors that may cause results or performance to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:


•	General economic conditions and financial instability, either nationally, internationally, regionally or locally;


•	Increased competitive pressures, including those from tax-advantaged credit unions and other financial service providers in our northern Vermont and New Hampshire market area or in the financial services industry generally, from increasing consolidation and integration of financial service providers, and from changes in technology and delivery systems;


•	Interest rates change in a way that puts pressure on the Company's margins, or that results in lower fee income and lower gain on sale of real estate loans, or that increases our interest costs;


•	Changes in laws or government rules, or the way in which courts or government agencies interpret or implement those laws or rules, that increase our costs of doing business or otherwise adversely affect our business;


•	Further changes in federal or state tax policy;


•	Changes in our level of nonperforming assets and charge-offs;


•	Changes in depositor behavior resulting in movement of funds out of bank deposits and into the stock market or other higher-yielding investments;


•	Changes in estimates of future reserve requirements based upon relevant regulatory and accounting requirements;


•	Changes in information technology that require increased capital spending or that result in new or increased risks;


•	Changes in consumer and business spending, borrowing and savings habits;


•	Changes in accounting principles, including those governing the manner of estimating our credit risk and calculating our loan loss reserve;


•	Further changes to the regulations governing the calculation of the Company’s regulatory capital ratios;


•	Increased competitive pressures affecting the ability of the Company to attract, develop and retain employees;


•	Increased cybersecurity threats; and


•	The effect of and changes in the United States monetary and fiscal policies, including interest rate policies and regulation of the money supply by the FRB.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 26

When evaluating forward-looking statements to make decisions about the Company and our stock, investors and others are cautioned to consider these and other risks and uncertainties, and are reminded not to place undue reliance on such statements. Investors should not consider the foregoing list of factors to be a complete list of risks or uncertainties. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them to reflect new or changed information or events, except as may be required by federal securities laws.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Under SEC Regulation G, public companies making disclosures containing financial measures that are not in accordance with GAAP must also disclose, along with each non-GAAP financial measure, certain additional information, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the closest comparable GAAP financial measure, as well as a statement of the company’s reasons for utilizing the non-GAAP financial measure. The SEC has exempted from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures certain commonly used financial measures that are not based on GAAP. However, two non-GAAP financial measures commonly used by financial institutions, namely tax-equivalent net interest income and tax-equivalent net interest margin (as presented in the tables in the section labeled Yields Earned and Rates Paid), have not been specifically exempted by the SEC, and may therefore constitute non-GAAP financial measures under Regulation G. We are unable to state with certainty whether the SEC would regard those measures as subject to Regulation G. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful in evaluating the Company’s financial performance and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. However, that information should be considered supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of GAAP i n the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by management which have a material impact on the reported amount of assets, liabilities, capital, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The SEC has defined a company's critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of the company's financial condition and results of operations, and which require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates on matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, management has identified the accounting policies and judgments most critical to the Company. They include establishing the amount of ALL, evaluating our investment securities for OTTI, and valuing our intangible assets. Prior to termination of our defined benefit pension plan during the fourth quarter of 2018, determining the amount of our defined benefit pension plan obligation and net periodic cost/(benefit) was also a critical accounting policy. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from estimates and have a material impact on the carrying value of assets, liabilities, or capital, and/or the results of operations of the Company.

Please refer to the Company's 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more in-depth discussion of the Company's critical accounting policies. There have been no changes to the Company's critical accounting policies since the filing of that report.

OVERVIEW

During the third quarter of 2019 , the Federal Reserve reduced the Federal Funds Target Rate from 2.5% to 2.0%, which also resulted in a decrease in the national prime rate from 5.5% to 5.0%. The Company holds variable rate loans in the portfolio that are indexed to the national prime rate, however, not all of these variable rate loans are set to reprice immediately upon a change to the index, therefore, the Company did not recognize an immediate decline in loan interest income related to this reduction in rates. The decrease in rates on a national level does impact the interest rates offered on new loans and has resulted in rate reduction requests from select customers with existing loans.

The Company opened two full service branch locations in Chittenden County, Vermont in May and August of 2019 . The new locations have contributed to increases in customer loan and deposit balances on the balance sheet, but have also contributed to increases in overhead expense, specifically related to salaries and wages, occupancy and equipment expenses.

Net income for the September 30, 2018 three and nine month comparison periods reflected a one-time charge to income of $310 thousand to correct an overstated interest rate assigned to a tax exempt loan. This correction impacts the changes in interest income between periods. In addition, the changes in net income between periods were affected by expenses of $169 thousand and $508 thousand for the September 30, 2018 three and nine month comparison periods , respectively, related to the Company's defined benefit plan, which was terminated and settled during the fourth quarter of 2018. ( See Results of Operations.)

The Company's net income increased $427 thousand , or 18.5% , to $ 2.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 , compared to $ 2.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 . These results reflected the combined impact of an increase in the

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 27

Company's net interest income of $625 thousand , or 8.9% , and an increase in noninterest income of $280 thousand , or 11.4% , which were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $476 thousand , or 7.3% .

Year-to-date earnings for 2019 were $7.9 million , or $1.77 per share, compared to $7.5 million , or $1.68 per share, for the same period in 2018 , an increase of $381 thousand , or 5.1% , year over year. Net interest income improved $1.4 million , or 6.8% , noninterest income increased $279 thousand , or 3.9% , and the provision for income taxes decreased $83 thousand , or 5.7% . These positive changes were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expenses of $1.4 million , or 7.2% , and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $50 thousand .

At September 30, 2019 , the Company had total consolidated assets of $844.9 million , including gross loans and loans held for sale (total loans) of $671.5 million , deposits of $716.7 million , borrowed funds of $47.2 million , and stockholders' equity of $70.6 million . The Company’s total assets at September 30, 2019 increased $39.6 million , or 4.9% , from $805.3 million at December 31, 2018 , and increased $65.2 million , or 8.4% , compared to September 30, 2018 . (See Financial Condition on page 35.)

The Company's total capital increased from $64.5 million at December 31, 2018 to $70.6 million at September 30, 2019 . This increase primarily reflects net income of $7.9 million for the first nine months of 2019 and an increase of $2.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by regular cash dividends declared of $4.2 million . (See Capital Resources on page 42.)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Interest Income . The largest component of the Company’s operating income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income received from earning assets and interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income is affected by various factors including, but not limited to changes in interest rates, loan and deposit pricing strategies, the volume and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, and the level of nonperforming assets. Net interest margin is calculated as the net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis as a percentage of average earning assets.

As previously mentioned, the Federal Reserve decreased short term interest rates by 50 bp during the third quarter of 2019 . Despite the decline in interest rates the average yield on average earning assets was 4.82% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 4.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 , an increase of 36 bp. The increase in average yield was primarily driven by an increase of 43 bps in loan yield due to an increase in the average volume of loans outstanding of $30.5 million between the comparison periods. The one-time reduction of $310 thousand in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to correct an overstated interest rate on a tax exempt loan reduced the average yield on earning assets for that period by four bps.

The average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities increased 22 bps, to 0.96% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 0.74% for the third quarter of 2018 . The average rate paid on time deposits increased 54 bp for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 , which reflects higher rate CD specials offered to customers in the Company's newest markets, as well as the whole branch network. The utilization of brokered deposits and purchased deposits from CDARS is necessary to bridge short term funding gaps as core deposits are gathered. The reduction in short term interest rates initiated by the Federal Reserve has started to provide some relief in wholesale funding costs, but for the comparison periods, borrowed funds have a higher cost than customer deposits at an average rate paid of 2.22% , compared to 1.73% a year ago. The 49 bps increase in the average rate paid on borrowed funds resulted in a $55 thousand increase in interest expense for borrowed funds during the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018 . Although interest rates are decreasing nationally, competition for customer deposits remains strong and will likely continue to put upward pressure on cost of funds in the coming months.

The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest income increased $625 thousand , or 8.9% , to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 from $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 . The net interest spread increased 14 bps to 3.86% for the third quarter of 2019 , from 3.72% for the same period last year, reflecting the net effect of the 22 bp increase in the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities and the 36 bps increase in the average yield earned on interest earning assets between periods. The net interest margin increased 18 bps during the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period last year as a result of the changes discussed above.

Net interest income was $22.6 million , on a fully tax equivalent basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $21.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , an increase of $1.4 million , or 6.79% . The average volume of earning assets increased $51.7 million and the average yield on earning assets increased 25 bps to 4.80% compared to 4.55% for the comparison period. Average loans increased $44.4 million , or 7.31% , to $652.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 . The $2.7 million increase in interest income on loans was due primarily to the increase in average loan volume, with the increase in average yield on loans also contributing, but to a lesser extent.

The average cost of funds, which is tied primarily to customer deposit accounts, increased 32 bps to 0.91% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to 0.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . Interest expense increased $1.7 million , to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 . The increase in interest expense was primarily due to increases in average rates paid and to a lesser extent the increase in average volume of $47.5 million .

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table describes the extent to which changes in average interest rates (on a fully tax-equivalent basis) and changes in volume of average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected the Company's interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. For each category of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to:


•	changes in volume (change in volume multiplied by prior rate);


•	changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by prior volume); and


•	total change in rate and volume.

Changes attributable to both rate and volume have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses of $150 thousand and $350 thousand was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to $150 thousand and $300 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively. The provision for loan losses for the first nine months of 2019 was deemed appropriate by management based on the size and mix of the loan portfolio, the level of nonperforming loans, the results of the qualitative factor review and prevailing economic conditions. For further details, see FINANCIAL CONDITION- Allowance for Loan Losses and Asset Quality below.

Noninterest Income. The following table sets forth the components of noninterest income and changes between the three and nine month comparison periods of 2019 and 2018 :

Total noninterest income	$	2,732	$	2,452	$	280		11.4		$	7,354	$	7,075	$	279		3.9

The significant changes in noninterest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018 are described below:


•	Trust income. The decrease in trust income in both comparison periods is primarily due to the absence of income from the Company's defined benefit pension plan during 2019 as a result of the termination of the plan and settlement of the plan's assets and liabilities in the fourth quarter of 2018 .

•

Service fees. Service fees increased $49 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2019 , compared to the same period of 2018 due to increases of $40 thousand in ATM network income, $22 thousand in overdraft fee income, and $21 thousand in loan servicing fees. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of $23 thousand in credit card fee income as the Company sold its corporate credit card portfolio during the fourth quarter of 2018 . Service fees decreased $9 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 primarily due to a reduction in service charge and overdraft fee income on customer accounts of $45 thousand, partially offset by an increase in ATM network income of $62 thousand.

•

Net gains on sales of loans held for sale. Continuing the Company's strategy to mitigate long-term interest rate risk, residential loans totaling $44.7 million and $101.3 million were sold during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, versus sales of $33.8 million and $83.2 million during the same periods in 2018 , respectively. The increase in net gains on sales of real estate loans is reflective of increases in volumes of loans sold and a declining rate environment during the first nine months of 2019 compared to a rising rate environment during the same period of 2018 .

•

Income from Company-owned life insurance. The Company purchased $3.0 million of company owned life insurance covering select officers of Union during the third quarter of 2019 , resulting in increased income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 . Although the new policies contributed to noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 , proceeds from the death benefit on an insurance policy on the life of a former director resulted in $252 thousand of additional income during the first quarter of 2018 that did not recur in 2019 .


•	Other income. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 included $131 thousand in prepayment penalties from the early payoff of commercial loans and $50 thousand related to oil and gas income. Other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 included a gain on the sale of a bank owned branch building of $191 thousand.

Noninterest Expense. The following table sets forth the components of noninterest expense and changes between the three and nine month comparison periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 :

The significant changes in noninterest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018 are described below:

•

Salaries and wages. Salaries and wages increased $327 thousand and $765 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to the same periods of 2018 primarily due to increases in commissions earned by mortgage loan originators, annual salary adjustments, and an increase in accrual amounts for annual incentive plan payments. Also, the number of full time equivalent employees has increased from 194 at September 30, 2018 to 205 as of September 30, 2019 due to the addition of new branch locations.

•

Employee benefits. The decreases in employee benefits for the comparison periods noted above is primarily due to amounts related to the Company's terminated defined benefit pension plan of $169 thousand and $508 thousand recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively, that did not recur in 2019. Increases in the Company's medical and dental plan costs of $69 thousand and $214 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, and increases of $15 thousand and $35 thousand in 401k contributions for the same time periods, respectively, partially offset the reduction in expenses from the former defined benefit pension plan.


•	Occupancy expense, net. Occupancy expenses increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 due to increases in depreciation expense, utilities, and repairs and maintenance. These increases are primarily due to our branch expansion projects with the opening of two full service branches in Vermont and a loan production office in New Hampshire since September 30, 2018 .


•	Equipment expense. Equipment expenses increased during the comparison periods due to increases of $58 thousand and $94 thousand in depreciation expense and $34 thousand and $95 thousand in software license and maintenance costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 .

•

Legal and professional fees. Legal and professional fees decreased $28 thousand and increased $43 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018 . During 2018 , consultants were engaged to assist with a compensation and benefit analysis that did not recur in 2019 . This reduction in expense during the third quarter was more than offset by consultants engaged to assist with internal audits, employment searches, and other advisory services throughout 2019 resulting in an increase in expenses year over year.

•

FDIC insurance assessment. The FDIC awarded assessment credits to banks having total consolidated assets of less than $10 billion, for the portion of their assessments that contributed to the growth in the Deposit Insurance Reserve Ratio. Union was awarded a credit in the amount of $179 thousand, of which $110 thousand was utilized in the third quarter of 2019. Application of this credit resulted in a reduction in expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The benefit of the credit was partially offset by an increase in the amount of the assessments for 2019 due to an increase in the assessment factor as well as an increase in average assets to which the factor is applied.


•	ATM network and debit card expense. Debit card expenses increased $27 thousand and $109 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018 . Expenses related to the redemption of reward points customers earned on signature based debit card transactions increased $20 thousand and $53 thousand for

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 34

the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 . Additionally, changes in services with ATM and debit card service providers during the first quarter of 2019 have resulted in increases in expenses of $6 thousand and $56 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively.

•

Other expenses. Other expenses increased $145 thousand and $257 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018 . Union's Vermont franchise tax, which is assessed based on average customer deposit balances, increased $16 thousand and $42 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2018 . As expected, advertising costs and printing costs increased during the comparison periods for expenses related to the new branch locations. These expenses increased $85 thousand and $99 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018 . The remaining variances between the comparison periods is comprised of smaller dollar changes in various miscellaneous expense categories.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company has provided for current and deferred federal income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and September 30, 2018 . The Company's net provision for income taxes was $477 thousand and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to $475 thousand and $1.5 million for the same periods in 2018 , respectively. The Company's effective federal corporate income tax rate was 15.2% and 14.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, compared to 17.0% and 16.0% for the same periods in 2018 , respectively. The decrease in the effective federal corporate income tax rate during the comparison periods is due to increases in tax exempt income and tax benefits received from limited partnership investments as discussed below.

Amortization expense related to limited partnership investments is included as a component of tax expense and amounted to $211 thousand and $534 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, and $159 thousand and $428 thousand for the same periods in 2018 , respectively. These investments provide tax benefits, including tax credits. Low income housing tax credits with respect to limited partnership investments are also included as a component of income tax expense and amounted to $220 thousand and $554 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, and $178 thousand and $475 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 35

unchanged from December 31, 2018 . There was no material change in the Company’s lending programs or terms during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 .

The composition of the Company's loan portfolio as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

The Company originates and sells qualified residential mortgage loans in various secondary market avenues, with a majority of sales made to the FHLMC/Freddie Mac, generally with servicing rights retained. At September 30, 2019 , the Company serviced a $745.9 million residential real estate mortgage portfolio, of which $13.6 million was held for sale and approximately $539.7 million was serviced for unaffiliated third parties.

During the first nine months of 2019 , the Company sold $101.3 million of qualified residential real estate loans to the secondary market to mitigate long-term interest rate risk and to generate fee income, compared to sales of $83.2 million during the first nine months of 2018 . The Company originates and sells FHA, VA, and RD residential mortgage loans, and also has an Unconditional Direct Endorsement Approval from HUD which allows the Company to approve FHA loans originated in any of its Vermont or New Hampshire locations without needing prior HUD underwriting approval. The Company sells FHA, VA and RD loans as originated with servicing released. Some of the government backed loans qualify for zero down payments without geographic or income restrictions. These loan products increase the Company's ability to serve the borrowing needs of residents in the communities served, including low and moderate income borrowers, while the government guaranty mitigates the Company's exposure to credit risk.

The Company also originates commercial real estate and commercial loans under various SBA, USDA and State sponsored programs that provide a government agency guaranty for a portion of the loan amount. There was $4.6 million guaranteed under these various programs at September 30, 2019 on an aggregate balance of $5.9 million in subject loans. The Company occasionally sells the guaranteed portion of the loan to other financial partners and retains servicing rights, which generates fee income. There were no commercial loans sold in the first nine months of 2019 or 2018 . The Company recognizes gains and losses on the sale of the principal portion of these loans as they occur.

The Company serviced $22.8 million of commercial and commercial real estate loans for unaffiliated third parties as of September 30, 2019 . This includes $21.1 million of commercial or commercial real estate loan s the Company has participated out to other financial institutions, in the ordinary course of business on a nonrecourse basis, for liquidity or credit concentration management purposes.

The Company capitalizes MSRs for all loans sold with servicing retained and recognizes gains and losses on the sale of the principal portion of these loans as they occur. The unamortized balance of MSRs on loans sold with servicing retained was $1.6 million a t September 30, 2019 , with an estimated market value in excess of the carrying value as of such date. Management periodically evaluates and measures the servicing assets for impairment.

Qualifying residential first mortgage loans and certain commercial real estate loans with a carrying value of $207.8 million were pledged as collateral for borrowings from the FHLB under a blanket lien at September 30, 2019 .

Asset Quality. The Company, like all financial institutions, is exposed to certain credit risks, including those related to the value of the collateral that secures its loans and the ability of borrowers to repay their loans. Consistent application of the Company’s conservative loan policies has helped to mitigate this risk and has been prudent for both the Company and its customers. Renewed market volatility, high unemployment rates or weakness in the general economic condition of the country or our market area, may have a negative effect on our customers’ ability to make their loan payments on a timely basis and/or on underlying collateral values. Management closely monitors the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, OREO and OAO for potential problems and reports to the Company’s and Union’s Board at regularly scheduled meetings. Board approved policies set forth portfolio diversification levels to mitigate concentration risk and the Company participates large credits out to other financial institutions to further mitigate that risk.

Repossessed assets and loans or investments that are 90 days or more past due are considered to be nonperforming assets. The following table shows the composition of nonperforming assets at the dates indicated and trends in certain ratios monitored by the Company's management in reviewing asset quality:



	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018			September 30, 2018
	(Dollars in thousands)
Nonaccrual loans	$	723		$	816		$	1,069
Accruing loans 90+ days delinquent	1,232			1,140			352
Total nonperforming assets (1)	$	1,955		$	1,956		$	1,421

(1)	The Company had guarantees of U.S. or state government agencies on certain of the above nonperforming loans totaling $286 thousand at September 30, 2019 , $114 thousand at December 31, 2018 , and $121 thousand at September 30, 2018 .

The level of nonaccrual loans decreased $93 thousand , or 11.4% , since December 31, 2018 , and accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more increased $92 thousand , or 8.1% , during the same time period. There were three residential real estate loans totaling $207 thousand and three commercial real estate loans totaling $137 thousand in process of foreclosure at September 30, 2019 . The aggregate interest income not recognized on nonaccrual loans approximated $1.2 million as of September 30, 2019 and $1.3 million as of December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2018 .

At September 30, 2019 , the Company had loans rated substandard that were on performing status totaling $1.8 million , compared to $2.0 million at December 31, 2018 . In management's view, substandard loans represent a higher degree of risk of becoming nonperforming loans in the future. The Company’s management is focused on the impact that the economy may have on its borrowers and closely monitors industry and geographic concentrations for evidence of financial problems. The region's tourist industry has seen successful results for all tourist seasons throughout the year for over two years. Improvement in local economic indicators have also been identified during this time period. The unemployment rate has stabilized in Vermont and was 2.2% for September 2019 compared to 2.9% for September 2018 . The New Hampshire unemployment rate was 2.5% for September 2019 compared to 2.7% for September 2018 . These rates compare favorably with the nationwide unemployment rate of 3.5% and 3.7% , respectively, for the comparable periods. Management will continue to monitor the national, regional and local economic environment and its impact on unemployment, business outlook and real estate values in the Company’s market area.

On occasion, the Company acquires residential or commercial real estate properties through or in lieu of loan foreclosure. These properties are held for sale and are initially recorded as OREO at fair value less estimated selling costs at the date of the Company’s acquisition of the property, with fair value based on an appraisal for more significant properties and on a broker’s price opinion for less significant properties. Holding costs and declines in the fair value of properties acquired are expensed as incurred. Declines in the fair value after acquisition of the property result in charges against income before tax. The Company evaluates each OREO property at least quarterly for changes in the fair value. The Company had no properties classified as OREO at September 30, 2019 , September 30, 2018 or December 31, 2018 .

Allowance for Loan Losses . Some of the Company’s loan customers ultimately do not make all of their contractually scheduled payments, requiring the Company to charge off a portion or all of the remaining principal balance due. The Company maintains an ALL to absorb such losses. The ALL is maintained at a level believed by management to be appropriate to absorb probable

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 37

credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the evaluation date; however, actual loan losses may vary from current estimates. The Company's policy and methodologies for establishing the ALL, described in the Company's 2018 Annual Report did not change during the first nine months of 2019 .

Impaired loans, including $3.0 million of TDR loans, were $5.4 million at September 30, 2019 , with government guaranties of $592 thousand and a specific reserve amount allocated of $225 thousand . Impaired loans, including $3.3 million of TDR loans, were $4.4 million at December 31, 2018 , with government guaranties of $641 thousand and a specific reserve amount allocated of $66 thousand . Based on management's evaluation of the Company's historical loss experience on substandard commercial loans, commercial loan relationships with aggregate balances greater than $500 thousand are evaluated individually for impairment, with a specific reserve allocated when warranted. Commercial loans with balances under this threshold are collectively evaluated for impairment as a homogeneous pool of loans, unless such loans are subject to a restructuring agreement or have been identified as impaired as part of a larger customer relationship. The specific reserve amount allocated to individually identified impaired loans increased $159 thousand as a result of the September 30, 2019 impairment evaluation primarily due to the addition of a commercial loan relationship during the third quarter.

The following table reflects activity in the ALL for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 :



	For the Three Months Ended September 30,						For The Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018

The following table (net of loans held for sale) shows the internal breakdown by risk component of the Company's ALL and the percentage of loans in each category to total loans in the respective portfolios at the dates indicated:



	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
	Amount		Percent	Amount		Percent
	(Dollars in thousands)
Residential real estate	$	1,409	29.3	$	1,368	29.2
Construction real estate	689		9.6	617		8.6
Commercial real estate	3,167		43.2	2,933		43.0
Commercial	326		6.8	354		7.4
Consumer	25		0.5	23		0.5
Municipal	78		10.6	82		11.3
Unallocated	114		—	362		—
Total	$	5,808	100.0	$	5,739	100.0

Notwithstanding the categories shown in the table above or any specific allocation under the Company's ALL methodology, all funds in the ALL are available to absorb loan losses in the portfolio, regardless of loan category or specific allocation.

There were no changes to the reserve factors assigned to any of the loan portfolios based on the qualitative factor reviews performed during the first nine months of 2019 . Management believes, in its best estimate, that the ALL at September 30, 2019 is appropriate to cover probable credit losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolio as of such date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not sustain losses in future periods which could be greater than the size of the ALL at September 30, 2019 . In addition, our banking regulators, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our ALL. Such agencies may require us to recognize adjustments to the ALL based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. A large adjustment to the ALL for losses in future periods could require increased provisions to replenish the ALL, which could negatively affect earnings. Management continues to be cautiously optimistic about the collectability of the Company's loan portfolio.

Investment Activities . During the first nine months of 2019 , investment securities classified as AFS increased $11.9 million to $85.3 million , comprising 10.1% of total assets, compared to $73.4 million , or 9.1% of total assets at December 31, 2018 . Net unrealized gains for the Company’s AFS investment securities portfolio were $1.5 million as of September 30, 2019 , compared to net unrealized losses of $1.3 million as of December 31, 2018 . The Company’s accumulated OCI component of stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2019 reflected cumulative net unrealized gains on investment securities of $1.2 million . There were no securities classified as HTM at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 . No declines in value were deemed by management to be OTT at September 30, 2019 . Deterioration in credit quality and/or imbalances in liquidity that may exist in the financial marketplace might adversely affect the fair values of the Company’s investment portfolio and the amount of gains or losses ultimately realized on the sale of such securities, and may also increase the potential that certain resulting unrealized losses will be designated as OTT in future periods, resulting in write-downs and charges to earnings. There were no investment securities pledged as of September 30, 2019 , compared to $2.5 million pledged at December 31, 2018 . In prior periods, the Company secured various public deposits or customer repurchase agreements by pledging portions of the Company's investment portfolio. Union's management has implemented other acceptable methods of collateralization of the uninsured balances such as reciprocal deposits through the Promonotory network and municipal letters of credit offered by the FHLBB.

Deposits. The following table shows information concerning the Company's average deposits by account type and weighted average nominal rates at which interest was paid on such deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 :



	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019					Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
	Average Amount		Percent of Total Deposits	Average Rate		Average Amount		Percent of Total Deposits	Average Rate

Total deposits	$	692,090	100.0	0.66	%	$	633,642	100.0	0.41	%

During the first nine months of 2019 , average total deposits grew $58.4 million , or 9.2% , compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018 , with growth in all categories.

The Company participates in CDARS, which permits the Company to offer full deposit insurance coverage to its customers by exchanging deposit balances with other CDARS participants. CDARS also provides the Company with an additional source of funding and liquidity through the purchase of deposits. At September 30, 2019 , $13.6 million of the Company's CDARS deposits represented purchased deposits which are considered "brokered" deposits. At December 31, 2018 , $15.0 million of the Company's CDARS deposits represented purchased deposits. These deposits are included in time deposits on the consolidated balance sheets. There were $11.9 million of time deposits of $250,000 or less on the balance sheet at September 30, 2019 and $11.3 million at December 31, 2018 , which were exchanged with other CDARS participants.

The Company also participates in the ICS program, a service through which it can offer its customers demand or savings products with access to unlimited FDIC insurance, while receiving reciprocal deposits from other FDIC-insured banks. Like the exchange of certificate of deposit accounts through CDARS, exchange of demand or savings deposits through ICS provides a depositor with full deposit insurance coverage of excess balances, thereby helping the Company retain the full amount of the deposit on its balance sheet. As with the CDARS program, in addition to reciprocal deposits, participating banks may also purchase one-way ICS deposits. There were $70.5 million and $102.9 million in exchanged ICS demand and money market deposits on the balance sheet at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. There were no purchased ICS deposits at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 .

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 allows the Company to hold reciprocal deposits up to 20 percent of total liabilities without those deposits being treated as brokered for regulatory purposes.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 39

At September 30, 2019 , there were $12.0 million in retail brokered deposits issued under a master certificate of deposit program with a deposit broker for the purpose of providing a supplemental source of funding and liquidity. These deposits will mature in February 2020. There were $1.0 million of retail brokered deposits at December 31, 2018 .

The following table provides a maturity distribution of the Company’s time deposits in amounts of $100,000 and over at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 :



	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
	(Dollars in thousands)
Within 3 months	$	22,208	$	24,518
3 to 6 months	27,292		9,125
6 to 12 months	17,220		12,820
Over 12 months	16,735		18,011
	$	83,455	$	64,474

The Company's time deposits in amounts of $100 thousand and over increased $19.0 million , or 29.4% , between December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019 , resulting primarily from customers taking advantage of time deposit promotions that were offered during the first nine months of 2019 , including special promotions in connection with the opening of branch locations in new market areas. In addition, there was a decrease of $1.4 million in purchased CDARS deposits outstanding at September 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 which will mature within three months.

A provision of the Dodd-Frank Act permanently raised FDIC deposit insurance coverage to $250 thousand per depositor per insured depository institution for each account ownership category. At September 30, 2019 , the Company had deposit accounts with less than the maximum FDIC insured deposit amount of $250 thousand totaling $558.7 million , or 78.0% of its deposits. An additional $20.8 million of municipal deposits were over the FDIC insurance coverage limit at September 30, 2019 and were collateralized under applicable state regulations by letters of credit issued by the FHLB.

Borrowings. Total borrowed funds at September 30, 2019 were $47.2 million compared to $27.8 million at December 31, 2018 , a net increase of $19.3 million , or 69.5% . The FHLB option advance borrowings were $47.2 million at September 30, 2019 , at a weighted average rate of 2.46%, and $27.5 million at December 31, 2018 , at a weighted average rate of 1.84%. The increase in option advance borrowings reflect new advances of $40 million at rates ranging from 2.18% to 2.37% taken during the third quarter of 2019 . These advances were partially offset by the maturity of $20.0 million in bullet advances during the first nine months of 2019 . The increase in borrowed funds was utilized to fund loan demand as loan growth outpaced deposit growth throughout the first nine months of 2019 . In addition, there were no overnight secured customer repurchase agreement sweeps at September 30, 2019 due to the customer converting its account to another deposit product during 2019 . At December 31, 2018 , secured customer repurchase agreement sweeps were $370 thousand , at a weighted average rate of 0.20%.

The Company has the authority, up to its available borrowing capacity with the FHLB, to collateralize public unit deposits with letters of credit issued by the FHLB. FHLB letters of credit in the amount of $24.8 million and $17.3 million were utilized as collateral for these deposits at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. Total fees paid by the Company in connection with the issuance of these letters of credit were $7 thousand and $21 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 , respectively, and $9 thousand and $24 thousand for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 , respectively.

Commitments, Contingent Liabilities, and Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements. The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers, to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and to implement its strategic objectives. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable-rate loans, commitments to participate in or sell loans, commitments to buy or sell securities, certificates of deposit or other investment instruments and risk-sharing commitments or guarantees on certain sold loans. Such instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized on the balance sheet. The contractual or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in a particular class of financial instruments.

The Company's maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For interest rate caps and floors written on adjustable-rate loans, the contractual or notional amounts do not represent the Company’s exposure to credit loss. The Company controls the risk of interest rate cap agreements through credit approvals, limits, and monitoring procedures. The Company generally requires collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 40

The following table details the contractual or notional amount of financial instruments that represented credit risk at the balance sheet dates:



	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
	(Dollars in thousands)
Commitments to originate loans	$	21,841	$	22,673
Unused lines of credit	109,560		109,457
Standby and commercial letters of credit	2,308		2,308
Credit card arrangements	303		259
FHLB Mortgage Partnership Finance credit enhancement obligation, net	687		684
Total	$	134,699	$	135,381

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have a fixed expiration date or other termination clause and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the loan commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon and not all credit lines will be utilized, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Lines of credit incur seasonal volume fluctuations due to the nature of some customers' businesses, such as tourism and maple syrup products production.

The Company did not hold any derivative or hedging instruments at September 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018 .

The Company’s subsidiary bank is required (as are all banks) to maintain vault cash or a noninterest bearing reserve balance as established by FRB regulations. The Bank’s average total required reserve for the 14 day maintenance period including September 30, 2019 was $1.2 million and for December 31, 2018 was $1.0 million , both of which were satisfied by vault cash.

Liquidity . Liquidity is a measurement of the Company’s ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to fund deposit withdrawals, repay borrowings, fund investment and lending activities, and for other general business purposes. The primary objective of liquidity management is to maintain a balance between sources and uses of funds to meet our cash flow needs in the most economical and expedient manner. The Company’s principal sources of funds are deposits; whole-sale funding options including purchased deposits, amortization, prepayment and maturity of loans, investment securities, interest bearing deposits and other short-term investments; sales of securities and loans AFS; earnings; and funds provided from operations. Contractual principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds; however, deposit flows and loan and investment prepayments are less predictable and can be significantly influenced by market interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our competitors. Managing liquidity risk is essential to maintaining both depositor confidence and earnings stability.

As of September 30, 2019 , Union, as a member of FHLB, had access to unused lines of credit up to $51.2 million over and above the $72.9 million in combined outstanding borrowings and other credit subject to collateralization, subject to the purchase of required FHLB Class B common stock and evaluation by the FHLB of the underlying collateral available. This line of credit can be used for either short-term or long-term liquidity or other funding needs.

Union also maintains an IDEAL Way Line of Credit with the FHLB. The total line available was $551 thousand at September 30, 2019 . There were no borrowings against this line of credit as of such date. Interest on this line is chargeable at a rate determined by the FHLB and payable monthly. Should Union utilize this line of credit, qualified portions of the loan and investment portfolios would collateralize these borrowings.

In addition to its borrowing arrangements with the FHLB, Union maintains a pre-approved federal funds line of credit totaling $15.0 million with an upstream correspondent bank, a master brokered deposit agreement with a brokerage firm, one-way buy options with CDARS and ICS as well as access to the FRB discount window, which would require pledging of qualified assets. In addition to the funding sources available to Union, the Company established a $5.0 million revolving line of credit with a correspondent bank during the third quarter of 2019 . Core deposits are the lowest cost of funds the Company has access to but these deposits may not be sufficient to cover the on balance sheet liquidity needs which makes using these other funding sources necessary. At September 30, 2019 , there were no purchased ICS deposits, $13.6 million purchased CDARS deposits, $12.0 million in retail brokered deposits issued under a master certificate of deposit program with a deposit broker, and no outstanding advances on the federal funds line or at the discount window.

Union's investment and residential loan portfolios provide a significant amount of contingent liquidity that could be accessed in a reasonable time period through sales of those portfolios. We also have additional contingent liquidity sources with access to the brokered deposit market and the FRB discount window. These sources are considered as liquidity alternatives in our contingent liquidity plan. Management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity to meet all reasonable borrower, depositor, and creditor needs in the present economic environment. However, any projections of future cash needs and flows are subject to substantial uncertainty, including factors outside the Company's control.

Capital Resources . Capital management is designed to maintain an optimum level of capital in a cost-effective structure that meets target regulatory ratios, supports management’s internal assessment of economic capital, funds the Company’s business strategies and builds long-term stockholder value. Dividends are generally in line with long-term trends in earnings per share and conservative earnings projections, while sufficient profits are retained to support anticipated business growth, fund strategic investments, maintain required regulatory capital levels and provide continued support for deposits. The Company continues to evaluate growth opportunities both through internal growth or potential acquisitions.

Stockholders’ equity increased from $64.5 million at December 31, 2018 to $70.6 million at September 30, 2019 , reflecting net income of $7.9 million for the first nine months of 2019 , an increase of $2.2 million in accumulated other comprehensive income due to an increase in the fair market value of the Company's AFS securities, an increase of $144 thousand from stock based compensation, a $44 thousand increase due to the issuance of 2,000 shares of common stock from the exercise of incentive stock options and a $27 thousand increase due to the issuance of common stock under the DRIP. These increases were partially offset by cash dividends declared of $4.2 million and stock repurchases of $13 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 . The components of the other comprehensive income are illustrated in Note 11 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The Company has 7,500,000 shares of $2.00 par value common stock authorized. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company had 4,945,690 shares issued, of which 4,469,043 were outstanding and 476,647 were held in treasury.

In December 2018, the Company's Board reauthorized for 2019 the limited stock repurchase plan that was initially established in May of 2010. The limited stock repurchase plan allows the repurchase of up to a fixed number of shares of the Company's common stock each calendar quarter in open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions, as management deems advisable and as market conditions may warrant. The repurchase authorization for a calendar quarter (currently 2,500 shares) expires at the end of that quarter to the extent it has not been exercised, and is not carried forward into future quarters. The quarterly repurchase authorization expires on December 31, 2019, unless reauthorized. The Company repurchased 300 shares during the first nine months of 2019 under this program at a total cost of $13 thousand .

The Company maintains a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan whereby registered stockholders may elect to reinvest cash dividends and optional cash contributions to purchase additional shares of the Company's common stock. The Company has reserved 200,000 shares of its common stock for issuance and sale under the DRIP. As of September 30, 2019 , 2,124 shares of stock had been issued from treasury stock under the DRIP.

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

Under the current guidelines, banking organizations must have a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a minimum Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 6.0%, a minimum common equity Tier I risk-based capital ratio of 4.5%, and a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% in order to be "adequately capitalized." In addition to these requirements, banking organizations must maintain a 2.5% capital conservation buffer consisting of common Tier I equity, increasing the minimum required total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based and common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets they must maintain to avoid limits on capital distributions and certain bonus payments to executive officers and similar employees.

The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act of 2018 directed the federal banking regulators to adopt rules providing for a simplified regulatory capital framework for qualifying community banking organizations. In September 2019, the banking regulators finalized a rule that introduced the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR) framework as an optional simplified measure of capital adequacy for qualifying institutions. A banking organization with a Tier I leverage ratio greater than 9.0%, less than $10 billion in average consolidated assets, and limited amounts of off-balance sheet exposures and trading assets and liabilities may opt into the CBLR framework and will be deemed "well capitalized" and will not be required to report or calculate risk-based capital. The CBLR framework will be available for use on March 31, 2020. A community banking organization that does not meet the requirements for use of the simplified CBLR framework will continue to calculate its regulatory capital ratios under existing guidelines. As of September 30, 2019 , the Tier I leverage ratio was 8.20% and 8.17% for the Company and Union, respectively.

As shown in the table below, as of September 30, 2019 , both the Company and Union met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are currently subject and Union exceeded the requirements for a "well capitalized" bank under the FDIC's Prompt Corrective Action framework. There were no conditions or events between September 30, 2019 and the date of this report that management believes have changed either Company’s regulatory capital category.

Dividends paid by Union are the primary source of funds available to the Company for payment of dividends to its stockholders. Union is subject to certain requirements imposed by federal banking laws and regulations, which among other things, establish minimum levels of capital and restrict the amount of dividends that may be distributed by Union to the Company.

Cash dividends of $0.31 per share were paid during each of the first three quarters of 2019 and have been declared for the fourth quarter, payable on November 7, 2019 to stockholders of record on October 28, 2019 .

OTHER FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Market Risk and Interest Rate Risk . Market risk is the potential of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and equity prices. The benchmark London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) rate that is utilized throughout the banking industry to set interest rates in loan documents is being phased out by the end of 2021 by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom. In preparation for this phaseout, an initial review of instruments the Company has tied to this rate is deemed immaterial and we do not anticipate an increased risk of loss arising from this phase out. As of September 30, 2019 , the Company did not have any market risk sensitive instruments acquired for trading purposes. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its lending, investing, deposit taking and borrowing activities. Management of interest rate risk is an important component of the asset and liability management process, which is governed by established policies that are reviewed and approved annually. The investment policy details the types of securities that may be purchased, and establishes portfolio limits and maturity limits for the various sectors. The investment policy also establishes specific investment quality limits. The ALCO develops guidelines and strategies impacting our asset and liability management-related activities based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends. Members of the ALCO also manage the investment portfolio to maximize net interest income while mitigating market and interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk arises naturally from imbalances in repricing, maturity and cash flow characteristics of our assets and liabilities. The ALCO takes into consideration the cash flow and repricing attributes of balance sheet and off-balance sheet items and their relation to possible changes in interest rates. The ALCO manages interest rate exposure primarily by using on-balance sheet strategies, generally accomplished through the management of the duration, rate sensitivity and average lives of our various investments, and by extending or shortening maturities of borrowed funds, as well as carefully managing and monitoring the maturities and pricing of loans and deposits.

An outside consultant is utilized to perform rate shocks to our balance sheet to assess our risk to earnings in different interest rate environments, and to perform a variety of other analyses. The consultant’s most recent completed analysis was as of September 30, 2019 . The base simulation assumed no changes in rates, as well as a 100 basis point falling interest rate scenario and 200 and 300 basis point rising interest rate scenarios which all assume a parallel shift of the yield curve over a 24 month period, with no growth assumptions. Management is not aware of any significant changes in the Company's risk profile since the analysis was performed as of September 30, 2019 . A summary of the results is as follows:


•	Current/Flat Rates: If rates remain at current levels net interest income is projected to trend gradually upwards as asset yields are expected to remain fairly stable while funding costs are assumed to replace slightly lower.

Union Bankshares, Inc. Page 43

•

Rising Rates: Net interest income is anticipated to trend in line with the Current Rates scenario over the next 24 months as retail and wholesale term funding replacing into the elevated rate environment temporarily match improvements to asset yields. The degree of benefit of rising rates will depend on the pace and extent of market rate increases as well as the terminal slope of the yield curve as rates rise along with deposit pricing strategies..

•

Falling Rates: Net interest income is projected to trend downward in a falling rate scenario. If rates fall, asset yield compression outpaces funding cost relief as deposit costs reach their floor levels. Additionally, accelerated asset cash flow, driven by faster assumed mortgage related prepayment speeds, continues to adjust into lower rates. Continued utilization of floors on new loan volume will help to mitigate additional downward pressure on yields.

The net interest income simulation as of September 30, 2019 showed that the change in net interest income for the next 24 months from our expected or “most likely” forecast was as follows:



Rate Change	Percent Change in Net Interest Income Limit		Percent Change in Net Interest Income
Up 300 basis points	(15.00	)%	6.8	%
Up 200 basis points	(15.00	)%	5.0	%
Down 100 basis points	(15.00	)%	(4.6	)%

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent our forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These estimates are based upon numerous assumptions including, among others, the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit run-off rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits and reinvestment/replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, we cannot make any assurances as to the predictive nature of these assumptions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

The model used to perform the base case balance sheet simulation assumes a parallel shift of the yield curve over twelve and 24 months and reprices every interest earning asset and interest bearing liability on our balance sheet, simultaneously. The use of pricing betas help simulate the expected pricing behavior regarding non-maturing deposits, limiting the rate increases that occur when market rates rise. A historic analysis of the bank's prepayment history was performed and the results were used as a basis for future prepayment expectations. Investment securities with call provisions are examined on an individual basis to estimate the likelihood of a call.

As market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will likely differ due to: the varying impact of changes in the balances and mix of loans and deposits differing from those assumed, the impact of possible off balance sheet commitments, and other internal/external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect all actions that the ALCO might take in responding to or anticipating changes in interest rates.
