Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
General
Auburn National Bancorporation, Inc. (the “Company”) provides a full range of banking services
to individuals and
commercial customers in Lee County,
Alabama and surrounding areas through its wholly owned subsidiary,
AuburnBank
(the “Bank”). The Company does not have any segments other than banking that are considered
material.
Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates
The unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared
in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information.
Accordingly, these financial statements
do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial
statements.
The unaudited
consolidated financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary to present a fair
statement of the financial position and the results of operations for all periods
presented. All such adjustments are of a
normal recurring nature. The results of operations in the interim statements are not necessarily
indicative of the results of
operations that the Company and its subsidiaries may achieve for future interim periods
or the entire year. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Significant intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires
management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures
of contingent assets and liabilities as of
the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term
include the determination of allowance for credit losses on loans and investment
securities, fair value of financial
instruments, and the valuation of deferred tax assets and other real estate owned (“OREO”).
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s sources of income that
fall within the scope of ASC 606 include service charges on deposits, interchange
fees and gains and losses on sales of other real estate, all of which are presented as components of
noninterest income. The
following is a summary of the revenue streams that fall within the scope of ASC 606:
Service charges on deposits, investment services, ATM
and interchange fees – Fees from these services are either
(i) transaction-based, for which the performance obligations are satisfied
when the individual transaction is
processed, or (ii) set periodic service charges, for which the performance
obligations are satisfied over the period
the service is provided. Transaction-based
fees are recognized at the time the transaction is processed, and periodic
service charges are recognized over the service period.
Gains on sales of OREO
–
A gain on sale should be recognized when a contract for sale exists and control of the
asset has been transferred to the buyer.
ASC 606 lists several criteria required to conclude that a contract for sale
exists, including a determination that the institution will collect substantially all of the consideration
to which it is
entitled.
In addition to the loan-to-value ratio, where the seller provides
the purchaser with financing, the analysis
is based on various other factors, including the credit quality of the purchaser,
the structure of the loan, and any
other factors that we believe may affect collectability.
Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated the effects of events and transactions through
the date of this filing that have occurred
subsequent to March 31, 2024.
The Company does not believe there were any material subsequent events during
this
period that would have required further recognition or disclosure in the unaudited
consolidated financial statements
included in this report.
Correction of Error
The disclosure of loans by vintage in Note 5 – Loans and Allowance for Credit
Losses in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2023 contained incorrect information as it pertains
to loans originated by vintage
and revolving loans.
All current period gross charge-off data, total loans by segment and total loans by credit
quality
indicator were correctly reported.
The loans originated by vintage and revolving loans as of December 31, 2023
have been
corrected in the comparative presentation in Note 5 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses
in the Notes herein.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current
-period presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on the Company’s
previously reported net earnings or total stockholders’ equity.
Accounting Standards Adopted in 2024
On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU 2023-02,
Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures
(Topic 323):
Accounting for Investments in Tax
Credit Structures Using
the Proportional Amortization Method
.
The amendments in this
Update permit reporting entities to elect to account for their equity investments made primarily
to receive income tax
credits and other income tax benefits,
regardless of the program from which the income tax credits or
benefits are received,
using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met. The new standard
is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15,
The Company adopted ASU 2023-02
effective January 1, 2024 and recorded a cumulative effect of change
in accounting standard adjustment which reduced
beginning retained earnings by $0.3 million.
The Company will prospectively account for its investments in New Market
Tax Credits (“NMTCs”)
using the proportional amortization method through charges to the
provision for income taxes. See
Note 3, Variable
Interest Entities.
NOTE 2: BASIC AND DILUTED NET EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average
common shares outstanding for
the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Diluted net earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that
could occur upon exercise of securities or other rights for,
or convertible into, shares of the Company’s common
stock.
At
March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
the Company had no such securities or rights issued or outstanding, and
therefore,
no dilutive effect to consider for the diluted net earnings per share calculation.
The basic and diluted net earnings per share computations for the respective periods
are presented below

NOTE 3: VARIABLE
INTEREST ENTITIES
Generally, a variable interest entity (“VIE”)
is a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal structure that does not have
equity investors with substantive or proportional voting rights or has equity investors
that do not provide sufficient financial
resources for the entity to support its activities.
At March 31, 2024, the Company did not have any consolidated VIEs but did have one nonconsolidated
VIE, discussed
below.
New Markets Tax
Credit Investment
The
NMTC
program
provides
federal
tax
incentives
to
investors
to
make
investments
in
distressed
communities
and
promotes
economic
improvement
through
the
of
successful
businesses
in
these
communities.
NMTCs
are
available to investors over seven years and are subject to
recapture if certain events occur during such period.
At March 31,
and
December
31,
2023,
respectively,
the
Company
had
one
such
investment
of
$1.2
million
and
$1.7
million,
respectively,
which
was
included
in
other
assets
in
the
consolidated
balance
sheets
as
a
VIE.
While
the
investment exceeds
50% of
the outstanding
equity interest
in this
VIE, the
Company does
not consolidate
the
VIE because
the Company
lacks the
power to
direct the
activities of
the VIE,
and therefore
is not a
primary beneficiary
of
the VIE.
On March 29, 2023, the FASB
issued ASU 2023-02, which was effective beginning in 2024 for
public business entities.
We
have
adopted
ASU
2023-02
as
of
January
1,
with
respect
to
accounting
for
our
NMTC
investment.
The
proportional amortization
method results in
the tax
credit investment
being amortized
in proportion
to the
allocation of
tax
credits and other tax
benefits in each
period and a
net presentation within
the income tax
line item.
The cumulative effects
of the
change
in
accounting
resulted
in a
$0.4
million pre-tax
decrease
in
the
NMTC
investment
at
January 1, 2024.

For the securities in the previous table, the Company considers the severity of the unrealized
loss as well the Company’s
intent to hold the securities to maturity or the recovery of the cost basis.
Unrealized losses have not been recognized into
income as the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates and other
market conditions.
For the securities
in the previous table as of March 31, 2024, management does not intend to sell and it is likely that
management will not be
required to sell the securities prior to their recovery.

Loans secured by real estate were approximately 84.2% of the Company’s
total loan portfolio at March 31, 2024.
At March
31, 2024, the Company’s geographic
loan distribution was concentrated primarily in Lee County,
Alabama, and
surrounding areas.
The loan portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a
systematic method for
determining its allowance for credit losses. As part of the Company’s
quarterly assessment of the allowance, the loan
portfolio included the following portfolio segments: commercial and industrial,
construction and land development,
commercial real estate, residential real estate, and consumer installment. Where appropriate,
the Company’s loan portfolio
segments are further disaggregated into classes. A class is generally determined based
on the initial measurement attribute,
risk characteristics of the loan, and an entity’s
method for monitoring and determining credit risk.
The following describes
the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments
and classes.
Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) —
includes loans to finance business operations, equipment purchases, or
other needs

Credit Quality Indicators
The credit quality of the loan portfolio is summarized no less frequently than quarterly using categories
similar to the
standard asset classification system used by the federal banking agencies.
These categories are utilized to develop the
associated allowance for credit losses using historical losses adjusted
for qualitative and environmental factors and are
defined as follows:
Pass – loans which are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity
of the obligor (or guarantors, if
any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral.
Special Mention – loans with potential weakness that may,
if not reversed or corrected, weaken the credit or
inadequately protect the Company’s position
at some future date. These loans are not adversely classified and do
not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse
classification.
Substandard Accruing – loans that exhibit a well-defined weakness which presently jeopardizes
debt repayment,
even though they are currently performing. These loans are characterized by the distinct possibility
that the
Company may incur a loss in the future if these weaknesses are not corrected
.
Nonaccrual – includes loans where management has determined that
full payment of principal and interest is not
expected.
Substandard accrual and nonaccrual loans are often collectively referred to as “classified.”
The following tables presents credit quality indicators for the loan portfolio segments and
classes by year of origination as
of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The December 31, 2023 table has been revised to correct revolving loans and
properly allocate loans by year of origination.

Error.

Allowance for Credit Losses
The Company adopted ASC 326 on January 1, 2023, which introduced the CECL
methodology for estimating all expected
losses over the life of a financial asset. Under the CECL methodology,
the allowance for credit losses is measured on a
collective basis for pools of loans with similar risk characteristics, and for loans that do
not share similar risk characteristics
with the collectively evaluated pools, evaluations are performed on an individual
basis.
The composition of the provision for credit losses for the respective periods
is presented below.

NOTE 6: MORTGAGE SERVICING
RIGHTS, NET
Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) are recognized based on the fair value of the
servicing rights on the date the
corresponding mortgage loans are sold.
An estimate of the Company’s MSRs is determined
using assumptions that market
participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates
of prepayment speeds, discount rate,
default rates, cost to service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing
fee income, ancillary income, and late fees.
Subsequent to the date of transfer, the Company
has elected to measure its MSRs under the amortization method.
Under
the amortization method, MSRs are amortized in proportion to, and over the period
of, estimated net servicing income.
Increases in market interest rates generally increase the fair value of MSRs by reducing
prepayments and refinancings and
therefore reducing the prepayment speed.
The Company has recorded MSRs related to loans sold to Fannie Mae.
The Company generally sells conforming, fixed-
rate, closed-end, residential mortgages to Fannie Mae.
MSRs are included in other assets on the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.
The Company evaluates MSRs for impairment on a quarterly basis.
Impairment is determined by stratifying MSRs into
groupings based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate and loan type.
If, by individual stratum, the
carrying amount of the MSRs exceeds fair value, a valuation allowance is established.
The valuation allowance is adjusted
as the fair value changes.
Changes in the valuation allowance are recognized in earnings as a component of
mortgage
lending income.
The change in amortized MSRs and the related valuation allowance for the quarters
ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are
presented below.

NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE
Hierarchy
“Fair value” is defined by ASC 820,
Measurements and Disclosures
, and focuses on the exit price, i.e., the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction occurring
in the principal
market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal
market) for an asset or liability at the measurement date.
GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority
to quoted prices in active
markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.
The fair value hierarchy is as
follows:
Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical
assets or liabilities in active
markets.
Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and
liabilities in active markets,
quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs that
are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or
indirectly.
Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and reflect the
Company’s own assumptions about the
inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Level changes in fair value measurements
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are generally
recognized at the end of each reporting period.
The
Company monitors the valuation techniques utilized for each category of
financial assets and liabilities to ascertain when
transfers between levels have been affected.
The nature of the Company’s financial
assets and liabilities generally is such
that transfers in and out of any level are expected to be infrequent. For the quarter ended
March 31, 2024, there were no
transfers between levels and no changes in valuation techniques for the Company’s
financial assets and liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring
basis
Fair values of securities available for sale were primarily measured using
Level 2 inputs.
For these securities, the Company
obtains pricing data from third party pricing services.
These third party pricing services consider observable data that
may
include broker/dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, benchmark yields, reported
trades for similar securities, market
consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the securities’ terms and
conditions.
On a quarterly basis,
management reviews the pricing data received from the third party pricing services
for reasonableness given current market
conditions.
As part of its review, management
may obtain non-binding third party broker/dealer quotes to validate the fair
value measurements.
In addition, management will periodically submit pricing information
provided by the third party
pricing services to another independent valuation firm on a sample basis.
This independent valuation firm will compare the
prices
provided by the third party pricing service with its own prices
and will review the significant assumptions and
valuation methodologies used with management.
The following table presents the balances of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a recurring basis as of March
31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively,
by caption, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets by ASC 820
valuation hierarchy (as described above).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring

Collateral Dependent Loans
Collateral dependent loans are measured at the fair value of the collateral securing the loan
less estimated selling costs. The
fair value of real estate collateral is determined based on real estate appraisals
which are generally based on recent sales of
comparable properties which are then adjusted for property specific factors.
Non-real estate collateral is valued based on
various sources, including third party asset valuations and internally determined
values based on cost adjusted for
depreciation and other judgmentally determined discount factors. Collateral
dependent loans are classified within Level 3 of
the hierarchy due to the unobservable inputs used in determining their fair value such as collateral
values and the borrower's
underlying financial condition.
MSRs, net, included in other assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets,
are carried at the lower of cost or
estimated fair value.
MSRs do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices.
To determine the fair
value of
MSRs, the Company engages an independent third party.
The independent third party’s
valuation model calculates the
present value of estimated future net servicing income using assumptions that
market participants would use in estimating
future net servicing income, including estimates of mortgage prepayment speeds,
discount rates, default rates, costs to
service, escrow account earnings, contractual servicing fee income, ancillary
income, and late fees.
Periodically, the
Company will review broker surveys and other market research to validate
significant assumptions used in the model.
The
significant unobservable inputs include mortgage prepayment speeds or
the constant prepayment rate (“CPR”) and the
weighted average discount rate.
Because the valuation of MSRs requires the use of significant unobservable inputs, all of
the Company’s MSRs are classified
within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
The following table presents the balances of the assets and liabilities measured at fair value
on a nonrecurring basis as of
March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively,

of Financial Instruments
ASC 825,
Financial Instruments
, requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments,
whether or not
recognized on the face of the balance sheet, where it is practicable to
estimate that value. The assumptions used in the
estimation of the fair value of the Company’s
financial instruments are explained below.
Where quoted market prices are
not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow analyses.
Discounted cash flows can be
significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate
and estimates of future cash flows. The
following fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent
markets and should not be considered
representative of the liquidation value of the Company’s
financial instruments, but rather are good-faith estimates
of the fair
value of financial instruments held by the Company.
ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial
instruments from its disclosure requirements.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair
value of its financial instruments:
Fair values for loans were calculated using discounted cash flows. The discount rates reflected
current rates at which similar
loans would be made for the same remaining maturities. Expected future cash
flows were projected based on contractual
cash flows, adjusted for estimated prepayments.
The fair value of loans was measured using an exit price notion.
Fair values of loans held for sale are determined using quoted secondary market
prices for similar loans.
Fair values for time deposits were estimated using discounted cash flows. The
discount rates were based on rates currently
offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities.
The carrying value,
related estimated fair value, and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s
financial
instruments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are presented below.
This table excludes financial instruments for
which the carrying amount approximates fair value.
Financial assets for which fair value approximates carrying value
included cash and cash equivalents.
Financial liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value included
noninterest-bearing demand deposits,
interest-bearing demand deposits, and savings deposits.
Fair value approximates
carrying value in these financial liabilities due to these products having no stated
maturity.
Additionally, financial
liabilities for which fair value approximates carrying value included overnight
borrowings such as federal funds purchased
and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
